Dear Shirley, Mitch and I were so sorry to read about Irv's passing. You know how we feel about the two of you. Irv was a very special person who would literally give one "the shirt off his back." Everytime I look at your house I think of the two of you still there. I am so glad that we were able to see you both when we were in Vegas a few years ago. I know you are not there now, but I have no idea where you are. Please e-mail me or call me and give me your address and phone no. I hope that you are all right. Please know that Mitch and I are thinking of you.

With much love,

Evelyn Meltzer

I knew Mr. Williams the whole time I was growing up since I was with his son Ross for many years. Mr. Williams was a kind and gentle man and had to overcome much sadness when his son passed away. My thoughts will always be kind ones of him.
