Dear Mr. P- thank you so much for being a mentor of mine. I enjoyed most every moment of time I spent with you. From the books and records to Cauruso´s for lunch to the taco stand next to Pacifica. Thank you so much for caring; we will always be friends.

Rest easy dear Irwin. Please say hello and give kisses to my mom and dad (Phyllis and Bill Axelrod) who loved you dearly for many happy decades of friendship.

Wasn't sure how to reach out, but want the Pomerantz family to know how sad the whole Kaye family was to read news of Irv's passing. Irv had a special kind of kindness that made him a giant. He was a good and caring friend and I'll always remember his generosity and loving ways. Mostly, I remember him for being the one man who my father most liked spending time with and sharing his most private thoughts. Sending love from us all. Alan Kaye
