Dear family of Ira, Want to send my condolences to you. I worked with Ira at TTCI. Sorry to see he passed. Hope you are all doing well.
It’s and family. We haven’t seen each other in more than 40 years, but you have always been in my prayers and will continue to be.
Deb and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss and may God comfort you during this difficult time. There are so many memories I have of my buddy. Working with him for over 30 yrs, I could write a book of all the riddles, pranks, and bets he never lost. We worked, we laughed, and we cried together. I loved Ira and would often express my appreciation for our friendship. He was always encouraging and always ready to give advise and share his knowledge. I would have to brag,that in my opinion, Ira was the smartest man I knew and the most respected man by so many. I love you Ira and I will see you again. Rest in peace My Brother from another mother .
Debi, I am very saddened to hear that my friend and golf partner for may years has passed over and is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior. I worked with Ira for over 10 years and I enjoyed every day that I worked with, and around him. I enjoyed even more our many, many golf outings and I have never played with anyone who has a more natural swing than Ira. I was never able to even come close to beating him. He is my friend and I look forward to seeing him once again in the hereafter. God bless you and your family.
Debbi and family,
No words can express our deepest sympathy for your loss. Our sincere condolences from CeCe and Joe

Email me if you don’t have my cell# Or call the house. Don’t want to put it here, idk if this will post to everyone?
I was blessed to have worked with Ira at TTCI. He was a wonderful soul and he will be missed.
Love you aunt Deb. Uncle Ira was so blessed to have such a strong, loyal, beautiful partner his whole adult life. You continue to make him proud, as you do the rest of us. Thank you for your talks, your listening, and support. I am here for you ANYTIME! Love, Morgan
Uncle Ira, my memories of you and aunt Deb go back decades. You were always smiling, laughing, and sitting next to your brother. My grandfather thought the world of you, and I can remember my whole life him calling you “kiddo”. I know you looked up to him so much. I’m so happy we had such a great Christmas together! You telling stories about your big brother , climbing telephone polls, and throwing you fast balls. You two were very special together. Grandma has always, and continues, to talk about all the fun you guys had together and a million laughs. Your passing came so unexpectedly, however, knowing you lived your life with your soulmate, traveling, golf, cars, everything you loved, fills my heart. Your faith lives on through us and I know you will be watching over us. Aunt Deb visited today and reinforced what I already knew. Deb is a strong, loyal woman who loved you and continues to make you proud.Love you uncle Ira. CHEVY forever😇 Your Niece, Morgan
IRA was a special friend and co-worket at TTCI. He will be missed so much. Sending prayers and hugs to all his family, especially Debbi.
IRA was a great human being and a colleague at TTCI. May he rest in peace.

Debi, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ira. He was a wonderful guy. My favorite memory of him is, in Sunday School, he was always saying “according to the Book of Ira..”. I remember someone once said I cannot find that book anywhere. I will pray for you and your family.
With much love,
Paul & Linda Shields
