    I've know Ira since at least 6th grade. We did a lot of foolish things together growing up but always good fun. He was a good guy and I'm glad I knew him. He will be missed. RIP brother.

    Ira was the nicest man I knew. He was my friend, mentor, and teammate. No matter what occurred he always had a smile and a joke to tell. His joy and enthusiasm was infectious. I miss our days working and hanging out together. I know Ira loved his family and his friends very much. We miss you "Big Guy". You brought happiness to everyone around you and we are all better for having you in our lives. God bless you my friend.

    So sorry to hear of one of the nicest friends Don Jr. had. They were always doing fun things. Don Sr. always enjoyed going to the car show with Ira and eating at Shillers.

    Ira, you are and always will be my Brother. We shared a large part of our lives as neighbors and best friends. You were there for so many of my memories. You are part of so many of the stories I tell from my life because you were in so much of it. I will always miss you and cherish the times we shared together. You are irreplaceable my friend.
