Irving was a graduate of the Mass College of Pharmacy and worked as a pharmacist for his entire career at several pharmacies including Brooks Pharmacy and locally at Nantasket Pharmacy.
Irving was a treasured member of Temple Israel and Temple Beth Sholom of Hull, MA where he was a Past President and lay leader for decades. He was proud to rededicate himself at his second Bar Mitzvah in 2014. He was a true tzaddik – a righteous man. He faithfully served his customers, his temple and his community with a quiet and unassuming dedication. To all, he was kind and generous. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Like any true mensch, he demurred when called on.
Irving is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Judith Rosenfield Kalish, and children, Sheryl Sacharoff and her husband Alex of Oviedo, FL, Neal Kalish and his wife Lisa of Manhattan and Cindy Kalish and her wife Martha of Chelmsford, MA. He is survived by his grandchildren, Justin, Cory, Hannah, AnaBella, Andrew, Harrison, Nicholas and Samuel. Irving is also survived by his sister Elaine of Long Island and several beloved nieces and nephews.
