Only the fondest memory of Irwin. Always enjoyed any time Irwin (and you) "visited" my store.
He was the one of the best.

I had the pleasure of working with Irwin when he was with ADS. Loved the birthday jelly beans he sent. Irwin was very knowledgeable & always ready to lend a hand or offer advice. He will be greatly missed in our industry. Wendy Heffernan Curtis Circulation

I always loved talking to Irwin when we'd see him at the Graziano parties/weddings. This world has lost a good man.
