Thank you family for posting memory and obit for Irwin. We met at Canyon Country Club where we served on the board together. He became a trusted friend. I really loved Irwin. And June, he loved you so very much. And he was so proud of his grandchildren. We met often at McCormick´s for lunch or breakfast, I miss him and think of him often,

I was age 15 when Irwin hired me at his Jewelry business. He had a positive influence on me for about 12-14 years and I am grateful, especially at that time in my life when it helped me most. Thank you Irwin for all the trust and opportunities you gave me! I still miss you.

Mr.L I will miss him,14 years at jakes grill. I will miss him

Irwin was so nice to me when I first joined Canyon CC-it really was a pleasure to know him-he was a great guy and a lot of fun.

Irwin was a big part of our family's life. Especially when he and Paul Speyer formed Irwin-Paul Jewelry Company. They would come to the little town of Wapato, Washington where I grew up and sell costume jewelry to my parents in their store Gilmore Jewelers. It was a special day when Irwin came to town for the whole family. It was like he was a long lost cousin. We were all so excited when he told he and June were getting married!! He was also very instrumental in my obtaining employment at...

The Holzgang family will miss Irwin's positive nature. Irwin was always so good to our family. He will be missed.

I had the privilege of playing golf and doing business with Irwin for 25 years and he was always a real joy to be around. We shared a mutual respect and trust that served us well during this time. While our golf games and business transactions were sometimes challenging,Irwin was always upbeat and positive. I will miss Irwin very much and wish the very best for June and the family.

Irwin & June were our "down-the-hall" neighbors in Vancouver. It was a pleasure bumping into Irwin in the hall, the elevator, or down in the garage, because he always had some interesting story to tell us. (All of which were funny and we think most of them were true!) We will miss you Irwin. This world is less interesting now, but Heaven got a lot more entertaining.
