Not sure what to say?

Deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear husband and father. We had been neighbors for so long I can not believe I will never meet up with Irving at the mail boxes in Suburban Shores again. I know he had moved to be close to his family, but I will always remember him driving his big pickup. There will never be a kinder, gentler, more generous or a more family loving human being. He is missed by me. Our sons all grew up together as well -both of our families had three boys. My sons-Jason,...

WE LOVE YOU!!!! To mom, Steve and Todd(my Rerun). We love y’all and your family. I will never forget the weekend we came down and stayed at Grandpas. We were out pulling grapefruits and oranges in their yard. The oranges were too high for us girls and momma to reach and Pop came out with his ladder and picked oranges and dropped them down to us. Him and mom were some special people. THANK YOU BOTH FOR TAKING MY BROTHER, RANDALL, IN AS A SON AND GIVING HIM A FAMILY AWAY FROM HOME!!! Our...

What a great man because he was a great friend to so many. Whether operating his grocery store, running harvesting crews, or keeping orange groves in top production, Irvin was intense about his work. But he would always go out of his way to help friends and the people who had the pleasure to work with him. With a winning smile and a sunny outlook, he was a man of action who got things done. We worked together for over 30 years until his retirement and I felt blessed every single time we...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Steve your dad was a great man. I use to really enjoy spending weekends at your mom and dads when we were in college. Your dad was always so welcoming to me and loved to kid around and joke with us. He was a lot of fun to be around. I always enjoyed it. My heart goes out to you, your mom and the rest of your family. He was a great person and will be missed.

My thoughts are with all of you.

Tommy and I are so very sorry for your loss he was a good man and will be missed a lot may you all find comfort and peace

So sorry for the loss of this wonderful man we love you guys
