Sharon and I are so sorry to hear of Ira’s passing. We pray for strength and comfort from our Lord for Gladys and family. Ira was a great, godly man who was kind and gracious. We remember meeting Ira and Gladys at Dahlgren Chapel when we first came to King George in 1987. I met with Ira and others for Bible Study on a regular basis for several years. He was a man of strong faith and will be missed.
