Oh my! We had no idea! We are lawn bowling in Walkerton and Hanover quite often and missed seeing Irv. He was the most friendly, tender-hearted guy around! He always had a smile and never complained that we heard. What a generous soul to be travelling upwards. He will leave a hole in all your hearts but lasting memories of the gentle and kind spirit he was.
God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Steve and Barb Schuknecht

We are so sad to hear of your passing and have shed many tears over this loss. Irvin you were a very beloved cousin and friend who always took time to smile and laugh with us and to remind us that life has it's ups and downs but it all works out eventually. In Olivia's words Irvin was always happy".
Your love for family, hard work, the farm, unions and for community is a legacy that you have left for your family and all of those that you touched.
You taught me much about life in our visits with Jean and Walter and in our drives to your family property, your Mom and Dad's farm and to the Kauffman farm to visit Johnny.
You were often reminiscent of the fantastic life you shared with your parents and brothers, Lloyd and Eddie, on the farm and your huge extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jean and Walter will especially miss seeing you each and every day and they both have shed many tears this last week over your loss.
Irvin we love you, will never forhet you and take this moment to celebrate the fullness and beauty of the life that you lived.
Love Joanne, Kara, Brandon , Olivia, Jean, Walter and Dorothy.

"Uncle" Irv will always be a part of this family. Circumstances changed over the years, but he was still "Uncle" Irv to us - kind and friendly. We enjoyed his visits over to the farm in his later years and wish there were more. Our thoughts to his children and their families - you also are still part of the family. R.I.P. Irv - God Bless
Jim and Sharon and family,
