Irvin was a one of kind person.... I knew Irvin because he and my wife Marjorie Keymer were once on the OMA and became good friends..... until we moved south. Even earlier this year we were talking to friends about this guy in Toronto who was hilarious to be around. (Irvin) The picture added here is one I took in Quebec coming our of an old-town store and loaded down with wine.. I have many stories.... I will mention one here. We were coming out of the O'Keefe Center, after seeing some some performance and crossing the street right in front of the center, when Irvin went into a dance and song routine. He always commented on how tall I am (6'4") and he wasn't. His performance, in front of Marjorie, Carol, myself and many many others, was the complete Munchkin song and dance that was in the movie "The Wizard of Oz" he knew all the words and dance steps as he circled & circled me crossing the street. Unforgettable.
Condolences to Carol and his wonderful family. He was a joy to know. PS Sorry for being 4 years late but news moves slow down here in Virginia.
