I'm sad to announce that my dad, Clinton Ives, passed away on February 7, 2025, two days after we celebrated his 81st birthday. Dad was known by many as a barber in Saskatoon, and his shop had the last working barber pole in town. He also loved card and board games. We will miss him ❤️.12 Feb 2025 23:28 +0000at://did:plc:b3drcmmd4vwsrt7gumjtel5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhzdau2gik2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynives.bsky.social/post/3lbtelbaf5k2fI’m so happy for @pwmartin.bsky.social!
