Dear Shirley and Family,
Our deepest sympathy for your lost.
I know the timing is poor, and i'm not from GHANA or Nigeria asking for anything, but our family inquires whether this was the part of our Aschkenas family that goes back to Joseph and Selma Aschkenas. If so , we are the descendants of both their sons Michael and Pincus Aschkenas. please respond. mike ashe, Va Beach, Va. 757-944-1278. Again we apologize for the intrusion if we have the wrong family members.

Dear Shirley and family,
My wife and I offer sincere condolences.
I will always remember Irv as an outstanding contributor to the aerospace engineering profession and also as one of my favorite ski buddies. My wife and I were lucky enough be included in a group Irv skied with annually, and I enjoyed hearing his stories about designing the Mustang. I'll never forget him.
