WILLIAM EARL IRBY

Delores, I am so sorry to hear about
Bill. I will never forget his face
when I went to DAC he had finished
exercising and was waiting for you.
I ask are you that good looking Bill
Irby he had the biggest prettiest
smile. I knew you had a very
special feller.
My prayers are with you and your
family.
Love you,
Carole Wenzler

Delores:
Bill was a sweetheart and such a gentlemen! He will be missed and in my thoughts always as will you. He left quite an impression on Shy that morning we saw you guys at Perkins. She still has the $1 bill he gave her and she knows the names of the lovely couple that gave it to her. Please take care and I will see you soon. Nancy Howland

We really enjoyed our time with Delores and Bill over the last six years as well as the old times when we were kids. Bill was a very special friend and will be greatly missed!

Delores, I am sorry to hear about Bill. I'm so glad that I got a chance to know him over the years at Thanksgiving and Mexican night and the other special occasions when I got to see him. I hope I will get to see you soon in Memphis.

To our very special friend, hey, Bill you left before we could act on our plans, have to catch you later. We all miss you, your smile, quick wit, never an unkind word. Going to miss you on the adventures to come. As a soldier and comrade your were a Marine to the end. Bruce and Nell

Delores, you know how much Bill ment to me, we met when he came to Snowden School in the 5th grade. He and Frank Thorn were good friends. I was so glad when you two moved back to Memphis and could be a part of our Tech group. Wanted you to know how much Bill loved you, he told me several times that you were always in his thoughts when he was in the war zone and the reason that he would get back safe and sound. If all of us could have someone to love us like Bill did you. Remember I am only a...

Delores, AS Esther said Bill ment so much to many of us. We met a Snowden School back in the 5th grade. He and Frank Thorn were good buddies at that time. I wish I could have had in my life someone to love me as much as Bill loved you. He always told me how much your ment to him. The thoughts of you are what kept him sahe when he was in the war zones. This made him sure that he would ge back safe. God had you both in his plan to be together again in marriage as it happened. You will survive,...

Delores, you know how much Bill meant to me. We were friends since the 7th grade on.... He was such a special friend, my confidant, and good buddy. Words cannot express how much I will miss him. We shared many years of memories. He always told me how much he loved you and always wanted to look after you and care for your every need. He will be looking down from Heaven now to care for you. With Bill and the Lord looking after you, you will be a survivor. Bill would want you to be strong....

Delores, Margaret and I share your sorrowin Bill's passing. Don't seem right as I just talked with him a couple of days after Christmas and he sounded great. Bill was a great Marine and a very special friend to me. You and the family are in our prayers. If I can help in any way, just call.
