Ivan Stephen Glickman
1943-2018
Ivan Stephen Glickman,
75, died November 29, 2018 at Victoria Hospital in London,
Ontario.
Beloved Husband,
Brother, Dad, Zeideh, Uncle, Friend and Storyteller.
Steve’s
departure came just shy of his 53rd wedding
anniversary to Sharon (Pantel) Glickman. He also leaves
behind son Stewart and his wife, Dr. Andrea Alexander and their two
children Jordan and Emma; son Thomas, wife Emily Kluga and children
Linden and Felix; and son Jeffrey, wife Ilana (Milgraum) and children
Talia, Zev and Goldie and brothers Melvin and Richard and wife
Joy.
Stephen was born in
1943 in Montreal, Quebec, to Herbert and Goldie (Bulkofstein)
Glickman. He grew up in the Notre-Dame De Grace neighborhood
of Montreal,and attended McGill University, earning a B Sc. in
Mathematics in 1964. A chance, incorrectly dialed phone
number led his being set up on a blind date with his future wife,
Sharon Pantel, and they married in 1965.
Despite a successful
career in programming and IT with IBM and KPMG in the 1960’s
and early 1970’s, Steve’s true passion for music
and his desire to interact with people drove him to sales in the
Retail and Commercial Audio Industry. In 1977, he and his
family of 5 resettled to London, Ontario, where Steve and business
partner John Nicholson co-founded London Audio, inc., one of
Southwestern Ontario’s finest high-end audio-video stores
for 40+ years. In 1999, Steve transitioned to the role of
Director of Business Growth and Retention for the London Economic
Development Corporation, where, for 14 years, he would help the City
of London attract new businesses and provide assistance and support to
existing companies.
Stephen loved to make
use of his leadership experience, analytical mind, entrepreneurship
and love for the Arts to give back to the London Community, and served
for many years as a Board Member with several organizations, including
King’s University College, Junior Achievement of London,
Orchestra London and The Grand Theatre.
Steve was an avid
Bridge player, an amazing bargain hunter, a mediocre fisherman and
golfer, and a loving husband and devoted father. He will be
sorely missed.
