Aunt Kathy and Family, Uncle Irv is going to be missed. When he was around you knew a smile and laugh were not far away. He was ready with a good story, joke, or memory at every occasion. My thoughts are with all of you. Carol Hickey
Kathy, We were so saddened to hear about Irv's passing. He was such a good man and always had a smile for everyone! We remember so many happy and funny times with him at fastpitch games and tournments over the years. He will truly be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
As I opened this morning's paper, I was saddened to learn of my childhood friend's passing. With time, may you, Kathy and your family, call upon all your precious memories to remind you that the spirit of love never goes away. May you find comfort at this difficult time in those memories tucked away in your hearts and minds.
Irv was a special person who had a way to make everyone around him a little more light hearted. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and I am sure Irv is well on his way tho his next adventure.
Kathy, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have always thought so much of both you and Irv. Please accept my sincere condolence and know that there are many caring people in your corner. May peace be with you,
Kathy and Family, please accept our deepest sorrow with the loss of Irv. He was always fun to be around and we had so much fun at Jefferson. There are no words that can describe all his friends feelings at this time. Irv was very special to all of us Jefferson guys growing up, he will be missed greatly.
Dear Kathy, So sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Susan Burbridge Brown
Our sincere condolences and love to you Kathy and your family. Irv has finally found his peace with God and am sure he is out of the pain he has suffered. We shall all miss him as he was very uplifting to me when I needed him. What a wonderful couple you have been all these so many years. If there is anything at all I can do...listen, remember the good times, etc. I will always be here for you. May God be with you through this trying time as well as your family and friends. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me....and this time we will make the time to be together. Mush Love to you, Sandi & Lar
Kathy, You and your family are in our thoughts. It was always obvious to us the love and joy Irv brought to you and those he touched. He will be greatly missed and always fondly remembered.
The last time we saw Irvy was at Aunt Maxine's funeral. He shared alot of his childhood memories with us that day. Linda, I used to work with you at Toyota and I remember how you would always enjoyed being with your Dad. We send you our very deepest sympathy and may you always cherish the memories you shared together.
Irv was the best forman I ever worked for. Sorry I did not get to see him before he died.
Dear Pat, I had just heard from Jeannie and was saddened to see that time had slipped away far too soon. My heart goes out to you and your brother's families. Love, TC
Kathy:Sorry to read of your loss of Irv. No words can help to ease the grief but many share your sadness. I walked that journey three years ago when Larry passed away. We crossed paths with you several times in different doctors offices as well as at Christ Church Pres. You and your family are in my prayers. .
Ric & Family, Both Tom & I are so sorry to hear about your father and husband. We will remember him in our prayers and also your family. May God continue to be with all of you. Tom Mason & Jane Mason.
Kathy....our sympathy to you and your family. Good friends are hard to find...Irv was one of mine. He will be missed.
Kathy and Family My best wishes go to you. I know that after talking with Irv and you last summer, that there is strength in you and your life in Iowa. I hope to speak with you in the future to express my respects to you and your family. Burt
Great memories of our family gatherings. Fun and loving describes Irv. Will keep these good times in our memory forever.
Kathy, we were so sorry to hear about the problems Irv was having and were surprised he left us so suddenly. His breathing problems are over now as he breathes celestial air. We are so sorry for your loss May God be especially near surrounding you with His love at this difficult time. Lovingly, Sharyl and Ken
So sorry to hear about Irv. Always enjoyed working with and being around Irv. He always had good ideas to share with everyone. We will miss Him.
Dear Kathy and Family, Heartfelt thoughts to you and your family as you remember your wonderful husband and Father. His obituary is beautiful and so meaningful with words about who Irv was in life. Now you will celebrate his love and the life you built together the rest of your life. I haven't seen you or Irv for many years but it seems like yesterday. Always remembering the good years and times.
Kathy: Irv will always be remembered. We had great times together with Irv. My condolences to you and your family. Jerry Hubler
Dear Aunt Kathy and Family, To us, Uncle Irv was a loving and joyful man who always made everyone feel that they were the most important person in the world. We could always count on lots of hugs, fun, and laughter whenever we came for a visit. Mary and I especially remember how much he enjoyed Kelly and Andrew when they were small, and the feeling was certainly mutual. He will be very much missed in our family. Our condolences to all of you and Godspeed Uncle Irv.
Dear Kathy, Irv will remain in our hearts forever--we have so many, many fond memories of Irv and the fun we've had with him, and you, too! We'll miss him but he'll live on in our memories and in our love for him! We love you too! Always, with love, Dick & Carol
Irv was always one of the "good guys" I always enjoyed being around him from Grade School days through High School. I'm glad we were able to share a final toast with him Tuesday night. Our sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family. Ken & Mary Mote
Dear Kathy and Family, I felt fortunate to have been able to see Irv while he was still with us. Still remembering and telling stories, in spite of his failing health. Listen carefully, Kathy, as he will probably be visiting you with the birds in your lovely back yard sanctuary.
Remembering the handsome "Little Irvy" staying with Jack, Maxine, Rocky & Doran and attending Center Point School for a short time. I believe I was a teenager. Had not seen him for years until August 30, 2008. He was talking about a hay rack ride we were on and said "You would never mess around." I thought it was a great compliment. Had a giggle over that. I took a photo of him that day, if you would like a copy please email me.
Kathy, I was shocked and saddened to read the paper today. My best wishes for you in the days ahead. In the dictionary under the heading "GOOD GUY" there should be a picture of IRV. Steve
Kathy & Family~Irv was a most irreplaceable man-complex, fascinating, fun, loving, full-of-life and totally unique. It was a privilege to know him. It is comforting to know, Kathy, he had you as his loving wife & strength….You gave him so much joy…Our sympathy to you.You are in our thoughts. Joe Day & Andrea Chapman Day A rejoicing spirit traveling to a soul reunion….
Kathy, Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of Irv. I have many fond memories from our Junior High and High School years and beyond. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kathy and Family You have our sympathy on the loss of Irv. Irv always had something to say and it usually ended with a laugh and a big smile that won't be forgotten. Keep your memories forever. He was a good man and a great Union Brother. We'll have a toast to Irv with many others.
Irv was a good and loving man. I especially remember his "group hugs". Jim and I were blessed to be part of the family. We had many good times together. He is at peace. May God give you all peace and hold you in His loving arms. With love from Jim and Percy
Kathy, It was a surprise when I heard of Irv's passing. I feel very blessed that I had the opportunity to get to know you both as a couple and I know that Irvy will be truly missed around the Union Hall. He was a wonderful man that I will always remember with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. It was apparent to everyone that knew you both the love you shared. My condolences to you, Kathy, and to your family.
Kathy, We arrived in Florida, last night (6/9), and I was just checking my email this morning...we are soooo sorry to hear of Irv's passing... I wish we were in C.R. to see you... we will talk soon and please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you each and every day... Love, Patty & Jary
So sorry and shocked to hear about "Irv". Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you, Deloris and Cliff
Irv was one of the good guys. My sincere condolence goes out to his family. He will be missed.
Kathy and family, I can't tell you how saddened I was to open the paper and see that handsome smiling face of Irvy. He was always my favorite electrician that Steve worked with. What a great guy. He truly will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Linda, My thoughts are with you and your entire family during this difficult time. Your Dad was probably the funniest and most lovable guy I've ever known. He will be dearly missed. Give the girls a big hug for me.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Kathy and for the rest of the family. Irv was always a treat to work with and have a drink with. Will never forget his plan of his maze and his views of life. he always thought if he had a dollar left than he mismanged his money. which shows what a zest for life he had. Thank you for sharing him with us. Michael Chute /Sara Riverview. Fl
Kathy and family, nothing we could say right now can help your pain and sorrow. We wanted you to know that we are praying for God to give you strength as you try to live your life without your adoring Irv. What a happy, wonderful man Irv was to all who knew him. I know he and Dougie are up in Heaven sharing stories about the 'Good Ol' Days!' Please know that we're here for you whenever you might need to share. This verse was comforting to me, Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. Our deepest condolences to you and your entire family. God bless Irv, he will certainly be missed.
Sorry kathy. We are a couple steps away if you need anything. Irv went too quickly. We are thinking of you.
Kathy, Ric and Linda, You are all in our thoughts at this time. Irv was a special person and you captured his zest for life and love of his family and friends, so well, in the comments in his obituary. Thinking of you. Kay and Steve Jackson
May you find comfort in your fond memories of Irv that never fade away.
