IRVING YOUNGER

I was/am an admirer of Irving Younger who taught me more about certain aspects of the law than I thought possible.

It was an unlikely relationship. I, a Mississippi lawyer, who, at one time attended Cornell University solely for the purpose of listening to Irving whose knowledge and presentations on the law were more lucid and practical than any! So persuasive, in fact, that I once followed him to Cornell for the singular purpose of learning from him.

Such a loss! I am now 90 years old and slow to learn of things such as Irving's death. Nevertheless, devastated even at this late date. Learning about significant things such as this is never too late nor less significant! He was an important contributor to the profession and to helping others.......such as myself!

It's been almost a year and I think of Irv everyday. I saw Judy recently and it just about broke my heart. RIP buddy; you'll always be a hero to me.

Didn't know Irving personally, but he's in a better place though. My condolences to his loved ones...

If you were Steven's friend, that means you were a friend to the universe, and it will by lacking in your absence. It will go on, but with you it would have been better.

Jordanna and Jared,
I think about your father and mother every time I am in Squirrel Hill and every time I go to the JCC. I knew both your mother and father. I remember how thrilled they were to have both of you in their lives. They fervently wanted to be parents. You two were their greatest joy.

I remember how bereft your father was when your mother died. He was devoted to her.

I met your parents at the JCC at a parents meeting for those of us who had children enrolled in the preschool. Then we would continue to see each other over the years because both of you went to the JCC after school program with my kids. You probably don't remember Sam Starsky and his half sister, Ellen Oanes. For a while Jared had a crush on Ellen. Your parents and I would joke and laugh about the possibility that we might be the in-laws to Jared and Ellen. It was a fleeting crush, which no doubt, has been long forgotten by you and Ellen.
Long after your mother was gone and you both were grown, your Dad remained so friendly. It was always a treat to talk with him and get updates about what you were doing. I was so upset that his life was so senselessly taken, because he was a person who would go out of his way to help anyone. I know that the pain of this loss will be with you forever, but perhaps it will give you a bit of solace to know that others remember and grieve the loss of your parents

Our family sends the deepest condolences to Mr. Younger's children, grandson & the rest of his family.
Please turn to our loving Creator, in prayer, and pour out your feelings, he wants to comfort you.
You described a man who had deep love for God, showed kindness, friendliness & all of the other beautiful qualities mentioned.
Mr. Younger sounds like he was a wonderful person, again, we send our sympathy.

My sympathy goes out to family, friends, and fans of such a dear loved one. May fond memories of a life well lived bring a measure of peace and comfort. Romans 15:13.

It is with my deepest sympathy that I offer my condolences. Please know that I am praying with you and for you. May caring thoughts bring you and your family strength during this time of sadness. God's Word the Bible gives comfort where it says "..I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears..."2 Kings 20:5

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort and help in God during this time of mourning.

TO the Younger family, please accept my sympathy on the loss of your loved one. I was especially touched to learn that Mr. Younger worked with young people as a coach and as a volunteer at his congregation. I also work with young people at my church, and I know how important it is for them to have caring and faithful role models. I pray that the good work that Mr. Younger began in his life will be continued in acts of love and understanding by those who knew him.

Dear Jordy and Jared,

My deepest sympathies for you both. This never should have happened, and i'm so sorry it did, and has impacted your lives in such a profound way.

Sincerely
Noah Brostoff

I extended my deepest sympathies to Irv's family. My father was very good friends with your dad. He was the best man in my parents wedding. My heart breaks for your family..

I worked with Irv Younger in the 1980s and remember him exactly as described in the obituary, as a caring man fully engaged in the community. My deepest sympathy to his family!

It has been so many years since Sherry and I were roommates in Squirrel Hill in your grandmother's apartment. Your mother was in my wedding 41 years ago in Highlands NC. I attended your parents wedding and have many fond memories of them both. Love and prayers for your family.

My heart aches for your loss. This was such a senseless act. May Irving's memory forever be a blessing.

My heartfelt sympathy & prayers to the family & friends of Mr. Younger. Such a tragic & senseless loss of life is difficult to understand. May God bless him & you all.

Dear Jared and Jordanna,

I wish I had known that your dad was visiting Southern California. He and I met during the summer after the eighth grade, when we were 14 years old. I have written about that time and posted about our friendship on Facebook under my name, Steven Harvey Hirsch. Please read it, and let me know how to reach you when you are back home. My deepest, most heartfelt condolences to you.

To Jordanna and Jared, I've known your dad since high school. When all my friends from class of 65 and 66 graduated, your dad and Sandy L. were the few true friends I had left at school. Your dad was great to me.
Your dad helped my dad ( who is still a member at TOL) keep his apartments rented and when I bought my 1st home on Melvin St. I would get my daughter on the bus and then push my son down to your dad's office on Murray Ave. He would love playing with my son. This was pre Jordanna and Jared. Your dad was sweet, gentle and kind and his loss will be felt deeply. I lost many people this past Saturday including my PCP of 40 + years. I'm heartbroken, so many are devasted across the world.. I will never understand this attack and pray this will never happen again. I will hold your dad's memory close to my heart. My family's deepest condolences to the entire Younger family.

Irv made me feel welcome when I moved to Pittsburg four years ago. Ever since then, I've enjoyed the pleasure of his company and his humor. We both indulged in a shared passion for conversation and we always stopped to chat whenever we met on the streets of Squirrel Hill.

Irv, you are missed.

We knew Irv in the 1980's when we rented an apartment through him, he was always a nice person and a gentleman and we are shocked and saddened that he suffered such a tragic death, please know that we are in pain and pray for him and his family and those who have been affected by this unspeakable act.

The tragic loss of Irving is a great sadness. My heart breaks with yours. I hope you will find comfort in the words of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who promises that soon when Gods Kingdom comes the whole earth will rest, free of disturbance. At that time the only cries will be cries of joy. (Isaiah 14:7) Please accept my sincere condolences.

Irv was a colleague and a friend of more than 30 years, and a mensch always. I am so saddened by his loss.

I am going to miss Irv greatly. Knew him my whole life and he would always make a point of stopping to say hello. A real mench. I grieve for all affected and my community.
