William Irrig Obituary
His leadership, integrity, generosity, and determination will be missed. William served with honor, leading sailors with dedication throughout his lengthy career. He enlisted in 1948, was commissioned an officer in 1959, and retired in 1982.
William has gone on to meet his beloved wife Nancy, and his son Jon. William is survived by their children Mark, Stephanie, Christopher, and Heidi as well as by his many grand and great children and his sisters from New York. Private services scheduled for a later date.
Lord watch over him in his slumber and see his hammock stays on its number.
Fair winds and following seas.
