So very sorry to read of Irv's passing. I absolutely adored his parents and he was an awesome guy. Whenever my family would be at Parloto's to eat, he always gave my boys a set of baseball cards. He had a great smile and was a people person. He loved his customers and made it a point to greet and visit with them, a kind person. He will be missed by many, but not forgotten. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Remember and hold dear the lessons...

I first met Irv while working at the Humboldt County Fair, some 25 years ago, and he immediately impressed me with his overall love of horse racing, and,in particular, horse racing at Ferndale. Irv was so welcoming and generous that he made me feel like I was a friend,rather than an interloper from So Cal. He took time from his busy schedule at the restaurant to inquire how things were going at the fair - and to see if we needed anything. He always went out of his way to make sure his...

Barbara and I are saddened to hear of Irv's passing. We have nothing but fond memories of dining at Parlato's and visiting with Irv and Marie. A plate of spaghetti topped with Marie's spaghetti sauce garnished with mushrooms sautéed in butter and garlic was heavenly. The steaks, seafood, boned fried chicken etc. all were beyond compare. R.I.P. Irv we'll miss you.
