I remember meeting Irrie my first day at Okuma (Jan '90). By the end of the day I knew he was the kind of person you want as a friend. He could speak his mind w/o offending others and would always lend a helping hand. I can only think good thoughts when he comes to mind. He was a good coworker who always did his work and more.
My thoughts and prayers
are with you Lisa, April and Avery.
