I had the pleasure of meeting Ira when I moved back to Gary for a while several years ago. I enjoyed my times with him as he was full of wisdom and humor. I especially enjoyed being with him in his garden as we both shared our love of gardening! Peace to his family and friends!!! Charlene

I was very sadden to hear of my friends passing. I worked at WCFL during the time he was at WLS. We had some great Times during the late 60s and 70s. Miss you Ira.
