What a loss . Ira was a talented musician, firefighter, parent and friend. Many firefighters in Florida and western states remember what a steady, supportive, skilled person he was as a leader. Ira started his career as a ranger with the Florida Division of Forestry and worked his way through the ranks to the top position as Chief of Fire Control for the state. Ira was a much loved professional firefighter and leader and will be truly missed. GOD bless you and your family.

First knew Ira when Crestview High was integrated back in 66-67. Was a good friend, had some classes or a class together and sat behind him I think. Always smiling and truly Jolly. His mother taught my baby brother. His kind spirit lives on.

I had the privilege of working with IRA with the Okaloosa Supervisor of Elections. He was a wonderful gentleman, soft spoken and gentle trainer, but one who spoke with knowledge. I am grateful to have known IRA, blessed to have worked with him, and thankful to have him as a friend. Hopefully we will rejoice again someday, sooner than later.
