I am saddened to hear of Dr. Irons transition from life to eternity. I must say with a smile I've enjoyed many pleasant conversations with he and Mrs. Irons while dining at The Pecan Restaurant. He was indeed a fine Man and as I've read about his many accomplishments I did not know, he was a Mighty Man. I stand to say "I think God is well pleased." To the family: may the memories you have make this time a lil easier to bear. REST ON!
