Dear Charlotte,
I was saddened to learn of Irwin's passing. Irwin and I became friends and colleagues in 1947 while I was working as a research assistant in Dr. Karshan's biochemistry laboratory. At the time, ammoniated products were in vogue. Irwin was so enthusiastic about the trends in the prevention of dental caries and wrote several important reviews on the subject.

Dear Charlotte and family,

Rhonna and I were shocked and saddened to learn of Irwin's death from the NY Times.

Dear Charlotte and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Mandel's passing. He is the reason I attended Columbia and responsible for my ending up in Rochester, with all of the wonderful things that have followed for me, both professionally and personally. I remember fondly, the time I spent with Dr. Mandel, and to me, he was Columbia's heart and soul.

Dear Charlotte,
Please know that so many of us share in the loss of Irwin. We have gained so much from being colleagues and friends with Irwin. He was an outstanding mentor in my research career and was such a good friend. We all share in you and your family's missing his presence. He is resting in peace. Linsy Farris
