Ira was a dear and trusted friend for so many years as was Marilyn! I am so sorry to hear of his death. He was a significant influence in my life.

My family and I had the pleasure of getting to know Ira last year. Although our time was short, we always enjoyed his gentle spirit and genuine concern toward people. Our deepest condolences to his family.

I knew Ira from The New Horizons Band. What he lacked in musical talent was more than made for just being a super nice guy and one of my favorite people. Fair Winds and Following Seas Ira. May your journey be smooth.

Ira had a brilliant mind that was so unique, perhaps because he had a deep, sensitive soul attached to that keen mind. Ira welled up with tears of empathy for people on a regular basis because of that sensitivity. It's no surprise that he was drawn to psychology. Psyche is the Greek word for soul. I will miss my friend Ira more than I can tell you. - Jon Stine
