I met Irv and Ruth back in 1968 after Irv came to work at E-Systems. Although I was only 30 and had a young family at that time, my wife and I enjoyed getting together with them. We loved the interesting stories they told about their lives growing up in Winona, especially those about Irv's many flying experiences and his stint riding motorcycles in shows. I'll never forget how delighted my children were when Irv showed them he could still stand on his head! I lost contact with them when they moved to Alice Springs but often thought of them over the years, and that is what led me to search for news of them again and to find this obituary for Ruth. May they both rest in a well deserved peace.
