He pursued a career in chemistry, but politics in the interest of peace and social justice was his true passion, and so was actively involved in a wide variety of organizations and causes spanning 6 decades. His passion for action, his love of life, family, and friends was an inspiration to all who knew him. Private funeral. Memorial will be held at a future date TBA.

Sylvia,
Irv was a major contributer to MEL in which he was refreshing and added to our individual and collective knowledge. He was never shy to express an opinion and as a result many of us sat up and took notice of his insight and perspective. He will be missed.
