Aunt Ruby,I know there are no words
that can be spoken,that will take away the sorrow and loss your heart feels.I pray that God will walk with you and your children,and give you peace in the days to come.I will miss him.One thing,he's no longer sick and he doesn't have to wear
oxygen anymore.We are all guilty,
of letting to much time pass,in be-
tween visits.We never know what tomorrow will bring.All my love to you and your children.

My love and prayers are with you during this time and always. Ira was easy to love, so genuine and honest. I was remembering when I was carrying Neil. He offered us $$ to name him Ira Ezra too! :-) I remember also how proud he was of his Kentucky Colonel Award and how he loved to camp and meet people.
So sad to hear his passing but so happy he is out of the pain of his illness. Love, Jeannie

I am so sorry to learn that Ira has passed. He was a pleasure to be around. You always felt good after talking or being in the crowd with Ira. That was just one of his many unique qualities.
