I was so sorry to learn of your father's passing. Of all my dad's friends, I liked Irv the best. He was so friendly and decent to me when I was a youngster. I never forgot his kindness. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Mr and Mrs Carlin were daily customers of ours at First Hill Starbucks. I had the pleasure to connect with them almost every day for over 8 years. Mr Carlin was incredibly kind, and the graciousness and quick wit of them both always brightened my day. I am sad to hear of Mr Carlin's passing, and want to send best wishes to Mrs Carlin. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Susan and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to Olga, Jeffrey, Mark and their children. We have fond memories of Irving. He was a loving nephew of my parents Florence and Bill Lenner. He truly was an inspiration to all who were fortunate to have known him. May he Rest In Peace.
Sincerely,

When I was about nine, I was hitting a golf ball around at Nassakeag one weekend and broke a window. My mother made me go see Mr. Carlin Monday morning and give him three dollars for the window. I was shaking in my shoes! He took the money and told me to be more careful next time.
I couldn't have asked for a better elementary school, thanks to him. RIP
