Uncle Irv was a very giving and wonderful man who had a great impact on me and many of my closest friends during our time at the Naval Academy and beyond. I don't think I ever saw Irv with a smile and I never left him without getting a word of encouragement. Since I heard from Andy of Irv's passing, I have been remembering and sharing with my family many of the fun times we had at his house. He was so gracious to have us into his home and to share his life with us. I was blessed to know Irv and I will rember him always. Frances, Ed and Mrs. Laing we will keep you and Irv in our prayers.

Anne, Fran, & Eddie,

Not sure if you remember me but I was a midshipman roommate of Andy's in his second year. I'll never forget how quickly "Uncle Irv" took me in and made me feel welcome in his home. Those weekends away from school at his house were some of my fondest memories I have of my time there. There aren't enough good adjectives in the dicionary to describe Vince. My deepest condolences and sympathies! Greg Carlson

Uncle Vincent, I loved all the stories we talked about and our common law enforcement expertise. Being one of the "Greatest Generation", you instantly had respect even before being a member of the family. You were kind and always were seen smiling. I am going to use your memory to be a better person and smile just a bit more. I miss your presence already. I know I have another angel looking over me every 8 hours I am at work. RIP.
