Claudia and my love and prayers go out to you and your children. We still light a candle for your mom. Now it will be two.

To all who knew this Gentle Man.
We go back to the college years with our friend "Korny" and worked in theatre projects together....was there when he started dating his Phyliss...informed when his Mom and Dad passed and the children and grandchildren were born.....He was all CLASS and I am sure Phyliss welcomed him with open arms. No man ever dies as long a there is one who remembers him...therefore our friend "Korny" will never die.

Eric and Judy and family,so sorry about your father.Ididn't know him well but knew he was always pleasent to be around,You mother as well.

Dear Judy and Ricky
Please except my condolences for your "dad". Irv was a really nice guy who never had a bad word. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.
