I was lucky enough to meet Irv thru Dana and Keith and what an amazing man he was! I'm very proud of any Vet that served but getting to sit with Irv and getting a chance to get to know him, even a little bit was a blessing!
I came to spend last Memorial Day with Irv, Keith and Dana for a cookout and I got to hear some of his past stories. He was extremely proud of his service with the Navy but what he was most proud of was his family! He is a very proud Dad, father in law, Grandfather and friend. He was a bit of a flirt, so I started calling him my boyfriend which made him smile. I will never forget his smile and the pure joy that he had.
Keep a seat at your table in Heaven my sweet boyfriend and we will share stories when I see you again. You are so very loved by your family and friends, you will be missed. I promise you, I will be here to support Keith and Dana.
