Michael G. Irwin

Dear Irwins,

I can't find the words to express my sadness at yet another loss in your family. I know that you are people of faith, of hope and of love, so you will get through this most difficult time. Please know that my family reaches out to yours in prayer. Our deepest sympathy,

Diane Huffner and Family

I had heard that he was ill but had not known how serious it was...

A friend recognized his photo in the Times Union as one of the photos I have on my business card - I'm the photographer who took it! I met Mike when I took that photo - in his kitchen!

His smiling face has been with me ever since and I had enjoyed hearing him on the radio thinking - I know him - how cool.

My sympathies to Mike's family.

It seems like yesterday since we were kids in the old neighborhood. My deepet sympathy at the loss of Mike. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I met Mike about 23 years ago, while filming "The Lighter side of Sports" for ESPN. I was the mascot for the NJ Nets at the time. I marveled at his routine everytime I got to see him perform. I was honored and thrilled to be by his side in early June for a couple of days when i flew up to share some laughs with him. He had recently recieved an autographed ball from Big Ben the starting QB of the Steelers,that he was so excited about. I told Esther he was a Great friend and consider me...

I wish to send my condolence's to the entire Irwin family. He was a great teacher and a hell of a stand up comic. Mike if I ever win the lotto I will create a jello shortage just for you man.

Esther,

We are so so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. Please know that we are here for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love
Chrissy, Chris and Danny Custance

Our deepest sympathies on the passing of Mike. Our heartfelt wishes go out to you all.

My sincerest sympathy to the entire Irwin family. I am a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Scott Twp. and was a friend of Jim and Tina Irwin. You are all in my prayers.

I am very sorry to here about Uncle Michael's passing. Our whole church has been praying for him from the start. It has kind of hard for me to deal with this because last year my father passed away and now these kids no longer have a father and another thing they were both the same age of 47. Hope you all are finding the best possible way ro deal with this.
