Ira was a man of courage. He fought his cancer for 6 years and never gave in. He graduated college and joined Vista. He worked for the federal government for a number of years before becoming a consultant for a number of family business networks. He always gave of himself and was loved by many. A memorial for him was held in September and scores of friends and family attended. He is deeply missed.
