I'm so sorry to hear that Irving passed. I'm from the Benson side of the family. I so appreciate Irving meeting me down at Fishermans terminal and taking me onto the Carole B, (my mother's namesake) as it was in the process of being sold. And taking me onto Valero, which he was newly excited about obtaining. Living and working on the Ocean was an important part of life for many in the family. My condolences to the Leask family.

I am saddened to hear of Irv's passing. I went to high school with Irv and I last saw him in the early 90's. He was a heck of a guy, and I offer my condolences to his family.
Sincerely,
Cliff Church

Dear Marilyn, Michael, Stefanie and Briana:
May God bless you all in this time of sorrow and may memories of the wonderful life you shared with Irv grant you comfort and peace in the coming weeks.
I will always think of Irv fondly and hold wonderful memories of him. I always looked forward to Irv coming in the dental office with his beautiful smile.
You're in my prayers.

There is a sadness in the air today learning of Irv's passing. While our paths only crossed in high school I recall many fun and happy interactions in class and in sports. Boy could he kick a football.

My thoughts are with the Leask family. I grew up with Irv and played sports with him in the Crown Hill area. Irv was a great person and always fun to be around I

Marilyn and family, so sorry for ur loss. Irv and I grew up in Crown Hill. Fun guy, and a good athlete. I havent been in touch for a long time but thought of him occasionally. Didn't know he was ill... 35 yrs of marriage is a lasting legacy to all who knew and loved him.
May God give u comfort in this difficult time.
