Irwin Schwartz Obituary

Irwin Schwartz died at home on July 9, 2014, in South Orange, N.J., surrounded by his loving family. Irwin was 79 years old.

Irwin had a great personality, always making us smile with a funny story to share. He and Karen were the nicest hosts whenever I stayed with them at their home. He is missed. My thoughts go out to Karen, Amy, Jonathan and their extended family and friends.

We have lost the best there ever was.
One cannot say enough about my dear friend Irwin.
He was a sweet, kind and the most generous person anyone could ever hope to have for a friend.
Irwin will be sorely missed by everyones path he crossed.
Rest in peace my dear friend and keep Peggy laughing.

I love you,
Your good pal,
Frank
