My parents. Ben and Freda Maddow, were great friends of Kersh and I remember him fondly as well and am sad to hear of his passing.

To the Kershners,
I'm a nobody, too, but I had the privilege of being a guest of one of his former assistants, Paula Spang, when she was house-sitting for him back in the late 80s. Though I never met Irv, I shared in his energy through Paula and felt his presence in his home despite his absence. What a remarkable man he was. Wish I could have known him.

Dear Kershner Family,
I am a "nobody" but many years ago I was in a Canadian movie called "The Luck of Ginger Coffey" which Irvin directed in Ottawa and Montreal, Canada. Mine was a minor role but my week working with him gave me an insight into a person who was totally professional but yet sympathetic, compassionate and fully understanding of the needs of those cast members who, perhaps, were working for the first time in such a situation.
I have always cherished that experience...
