He was a proud loving father to his daughters, Carrie (and her husband Jon) and Stacey(and her husband Jon). His greatest joy was being “Pop” to his five adoring grandchildren: Bobby, Taylor, Sylvia, Claire, and Brooke.

Irv was a deeply devoted grandfather who treasured every moment spent with his grandchildren, whether playing games, taking them on outings, or attending their activities. He would do anything to be part of their lives, and that brought him endless pride and happiness.
