Dear Uncle Irvin, Always a sweet, kind and funny guy, you will be missed very much. I loved hearing your stories about the Brown and the O’Hara families, about growing up in a Home in Rhode Island with your brother, Ed, and your adventures while serving in the Air Force. You will always be remembered with love.
