He maybe gone but will never be forgotten. I have such fond memories of him. He will never know how much I loved him and how I loved sending time with him . My sons and I when they were small loved going out to his farm. He has no pain and he can breathe the fresh air

Uncle Irwin was such a great uncle. I remember when my sister and I were very young and our dad was stationed over seas. It was Christmas,he took us to find a Christmas tree. If course we choice the largest one. With out a word he cut it down,when we got it to gran's it was to large. He had to cut most of it down to get it into the house. This is just one of many wonderful memories. He will be missed, but fondly remembered. Love you Uncle Itwin.

Uncle Irwin could not have asked for a better uncle. Can remember as a kid growing up loved to go out to there house. There was so many fun things to do because I was raised in town and all we had was a dog. Would go out to there house and they had chicken,turkeys and they had the most beautiful peacock's. Remember one time the turkey they had was chasing my sister and me around there house we were so scarred. But then our best Uncle Irwin came to our rescue. Toma and I though he was the best. And you know he was the best Uncle ever. Aunt Peggy and Margaret I want to thank you for sharing this wonderful person with all of us. You all are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya to pcs, Debbie Edwards

I have such fond memories of visiting Uncle Irwin's farm, he was a fun uncle. He and Aunt Peg would roll out the red carpet when his nieces and nephews came to see him. Bonfires, roasting marshmallows, cooking hotdogs and plentiful amounts of cool-aid to wash it all down. I've not seen him in many years but those memories are still clear, he was a kind man. My heartfelt sympathy to Aunt Peg and Margaret.
