Ivory left home to serve in the Vietnam War at the tender age of 18. He was awarded the Bronze Star for heroic or meritorious achievement or service.

Ivory was always learning. He valued education, receiving his Master's degree in Engineering from Purdue University. In 1991, he began a career at Marathon Oil Company, located in Findlay, Ohio. He remained in Findlay after retirement and until his passing.

Ivory never stopped developing new skills, even after retirement. He easily mastered tech devices, and he learned to do texes at H&R Block, where he worked part time. He enjoyed listening to music, especially vintage Motown recordings. He also enjoyed walking and going to the gym.

Ivory will be missed by those who knew and loved him. We hold him in our hearts and celebrate the good he accomplished in his lifetime.
