Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to hear of Mr. Irby's passing. I work at River Hills and I'll never forget him coming by the office, we were in the old building at the time, and sharing his peonies with us. They were so beautiful. He was always so nice to us and I loved listening to him talk about how much he loved his family and Mrs. Irby. I know he will be missed by a lot of people. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Paula, as well as the rest of the family. A great person......

Will, our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. So sorry to hear about your Dad.

The Ford family

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Phil. I so enjoyed my many years on Manila Drive being neighbors with the Irby family. Your dad was an awesome man and father. I know each of you will miss him. My prayers and sympathy are with each of you at this time.

Our deepest sympathies to you, Paula, and all your family from our family. Your dad was an inspiration to me throughout my formative years at St. Richard and River Hills. I will never forget him. God bless you and yours.

Phillip and Will- I am saddened to learn of the death of your sweet Dad. I have so many fond memories growing up next door to all of you on Manila Drive. You have a wonderful legacy with your Dad to remember always. Mary Kat Roberts Porter

Mr. Irby was a kind man who "walked the walk" by setting an example on how to live life to the fullest. He had a strong love of his faith, family, and friends. My deepest sympathies go out to his family for their loss. He, and they, are in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure and honor of knowing and working with Phil during my career with The Irby Companies. He was truly a Christian Gentleman, always willing to help. We all live in a better world today because God sent Phil to live and work among us. Ruth Ann and I have the Irby family in our prayers.
