Uncle Irv was so full of life, and so much larger than life. My memories of him I will hold close to my heart always. I can't believe he is gone and wish I had been able to spend more time with him over the years. Much love to my family and cousins mourning his loss and celebrating his life. He touched many and will live on in our hearts
