So sorry to hear that Iggy passed . I work as a substitute at the East Hanover Library and have had the pleasure to assist Iggy from time to time at the library. He always had a smile and pleasant word to say on each occasion that I have interacted with him. One thing that comes to mind was his love of horror films, I would mention to him how I would never be able to watch one of those films and he would always say the scarier the better, it didn't bother him, and if I remember correctly he shared that feeling with his daughter who would watch the movies with him. So sorry Iggy, I will miss seeing you my library friend. Rest in peace.

Lisa & Family - Our sincerest condolences and prayers to you and the family. Working with Iggy for the majority of my 32 years at Pru was a joy. We shared so many stories about family, working out and music over the decades. He always spoke lovingly of you and "his girls." Family meant everything to him.

RIP Iggy. Lisa, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. To me, Iggy was always this guy who may have looked physically imposing, but was a gentle giant. He always had a smile and kind word. I loved working with him, and his sense of humor. May God watch over him, you and your family.
