Lori and I have nearly 25 years of fond fun "getting together" memories of Ira and Rhoda. They were two wonderful, talented people. As for Ira's years with Teleflex, absolutely the best negotiator I ever saw in action.

My thoughts are to the Albom family. Mitch Albom spoke highly of Ira Albom on 760 AM WJR on Monday, December 11, 2017. It was touching and on behalf of all radio listeners we salute you.

am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:1, 2) sustain your family during this challenging time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Uncle Ira was simply the best there was. I will never forget his smile, his love, or his hugs. They just don't "make 'em like that anymore." I will always love and miss him. Cara, Mitch, and Peter, your dad was an incredible mensch.
