Irv will be missed. He was a very sweet man! Marjorie Tauer

Irving and I were colleagues from 1973-76 at UMass. He was a gentle man and a gentleman with a profound interest in the mentoring of young professors. I have very fond memories of his sense of humor. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

I served on the Amherst Cable TV Committee with Irv. He was a great person and I enjoyed working with him. My condolences to his family.

Irv was a wonderful kind hearted man

What a wonderful man and such a full life. I knew Irv as the father of my best friend Adam in elementary school, and never realized that he'd done all these things. May his memory be a blessing.

Amazing life. A great citizen and neighbor in Amherst. RIP.

He was such a sweet, gentle man with a wonderful wit. A mensch. R.I.P. "Grandpa Irv." Love, Suzy Stein
