Dear Ruth, Karen and Family, I was very sorry to hear about Irv. My memories of Irv go way back when Karen and I were kids in confirmation class. Irv would often give me a ride home from youth fellowship on Sunday nights. And I really looked foward to seeing him on my trips home every year. He was a good man and I shall miss him.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Ruth, We will miss Irv, his dancing, his singing, his wit, and the religious song he sometimes sang as we would return home from a trip. We all were blessed with his being with us. Please take care of yourself . Sincerely Young At Heart

Dear Ruth, Irv and you have been an inspiration. He was always full of fun and showed everyone that age should not keep anyone back from doing anything. He was a sharp dresser and had a sharp mind. He will be missed. Love Sarah Di Natale

Ruth, I am sad to learn of Irv's passing, and was pleased to have known him and be a part of St. Stephens - Bethlehem and various groups there where Irv was a special person. God bless and keep you.

Irving was a wonderful giving person. He worked with me at Becker Jewelers as a great jeweler. He could fix anything I could bring to him. He'd just give me that look, and I said please and he did. He had a great sense of humor and we enjoyed talking about everything from bowling to the Bills. When my parents moved away Ruthie and Irving welcomed me to their family party. It really meant a lot to me. Working now with both Karen and Amy I know he did good. I'll miss you.

We bowled with Irv in the Dizzy Dozen +6 league at lancaster lanes about 6 or 7 years ago. Irv was a favorite opponent full of vim and vinegar. We remember him with a smile. The Bud Bowlers.
