    Deepest condolences from the Doyne Botterman family. One of my favorite family vacations was the one where we visited the Ellison family in Idaho. Mr. Ellison took us rafting on a nearby river and taught us about how to know the age of a tree by counting the rings. I also remember a tire swing out in the woods- great fun. He will be deeply missed by all. Sending hugs and prayers. Debbie Botterman Brighter ( Doyne's daughter)

    I knew Ike for 35 years as his son in law. He was a kind soul and great story teller. If he asked you a question he wanted to know the answer, and he was full of great questions. His laugh was contagious and his smile genuine. He was an avid reader and learner who loved to teach others. Walk gently through the heavenly forrest Ike. You will be missed.
