Not sure what to say?

Becky so sorry about your dad.I just saw this. Love Deborah Bowden.

I worked with Irby at Kodak in Dallas. I know he will be missed, but such great memories..John Sellinger

Pat, Our friendships with you and Irby were an absolute gift from God. We will always treasure our visits. Love and prayers in Christ, for you and the family.

Dear Pat, Fran and I fondly remember time spent with you both after church on Sundays, as well as meals together. Irby's remarkable talent as an artist will always be remembered (and treasured), but indeed, his love of God, family and friends is what made him such an impressive man. Much love to you Pat. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Classic and gentle, always a delight to spend time with Pat and Irby. I know Lonny and Irby are selecting their palettes and painting more clouds for us all to enjoy when we look to the heavens. We have been so blessed to have been able to share life experiences with special men.

Pat, sending my love to you and your family. Irby was one of a kind and I shall always cherish his memory. Pat Getz, former Wadle Gallery staff member and fellow Santa Fean

Irby was the most gentle soul and his paint brushes created the most beautiful view of the world that will live on forever. Pat, you two had such a pure and tender eternal love. We send love to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy for you and your entire family. Praying for your family and just know that God will hold you all in his arms and comfort you during this difficult time. Susan Wigen Watauga Tx

Such a pleasure knowing him and having several lunch dates with him and his lovely wife Pat. A humble but captivating man during are discussions on life and art. Amazing paintings that can bring me back to my childhood in Santa Fe every time I look at them. A great loss, RIP my friend... Love to you Pat.
