Deb, Sean, Chris and Ryan: Karen and I want to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. Irish was as close to a brother as I ever had and I will always cherish the memories of our golfing trips down South; our many rounds at Lost Creek; our many breakfasts at Bob Evan's; and, our many dinners with our wives and friends. I know he is today with his Heavenly Father and the rest of his family in Heaven but the memories he left will bring joy and comfort to me and all others whose life he touched. RIP my friend.

Had the privilege working with Irish for a few years. Not only was he a good manager, he was also a good friend. He always had a story to tell. The many memories he's left with us are what keeps him alive. So very happy to have had him in my life. Prayers for his family and all those who had the opportunity to know Irish. He will be missed.
