What an amazing man. Me and my father had the honor of talking to him about his experience as the Ambassador of Iceland. The Vestmann Islands might not have been the same had it not been for his support during the volcanic eruption in 1973. To the Irving Family-We are deeply sorry for your loss.

I feel honored to have known Fred, however briefly. His friendship was enormously important to my parents. He will be deeply missed. Sending love.

Ambassador Irving was all the wonderful things that this obituary says -- impressively concerned about others, gracious in the way he carried his many talents, and devoted to his wife and children and their families. He will be greatly missed -- Ann and Tom Keary
