It’s hard to imagine that my friend since childhood has been gone over a year. I think of Irving, whom his closest old buddies referred to as “The Senator”, almost daily, and these reflections always bring a smile to my face. He will be missed by those of us who are left at our 70th Harvard reunion. In addition to his personal friendship, he made an indelible impact on my life, and helped me through many difficult situations over the years. He was truly someone I could trust, as well as enjoy his company. We shared a million laughs together. I will never forget
the Senator......My fondest regards to Joan, Bill and Leslie ...Myron L. “Mike” Wasserman

I am just seeing this. Irving was one of a few bright lights in a dark place and a personal mentor to me over 10 years ago. He remained accessible when many were not and I think of him often. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and in equal parts, my appreciation and respect for the man whom you called a family member.

I had some business dealings with Irving. He was the best. Really cool guy and always patient with those of us that were not lawyers. Great man.

Irving Salloway was my oldest friend, going back to Kindergarten in 1935 at Edward Devotion School. He was brilliant, and always extremely popular. He was the leader of the pack as far back as I can remember, the best athlete, the President of the class, had the most females chasing him, and was always looked up to, respected, and admired by his peers. His house at 65 Naples Road was the center of our activities right through High School and college. The old Devotion crowd looked to him for his friendship, wisdom and counsel throughout our lives. At Brookline High School, he became Chief Justice of the schools Supreme Court. We started to refer to him as the Senator, a monicker that he held for the rest of his life....We shared many experiences over the years - Harvard, military service, weddings, divorces, ups and downs in business etc. He was always an astute adviser when we needed advice, and a true friend when we needed a friend.....Any of us in that old crowd could fill a book full our our experiences with The Senator. Sadly, Im the only one left. I will think of him often, and his memory will always bring a smile to my face. He was truly a classic!!!
