Irwin Grew up in Boston and graduated from Boston English High School. After two years in Korea, he returned home and began working in newspaper delivery. Irwin was a member of the Teamsters Local 259 for over 50 years working his way up from delivery driver for the Record American to Superintendent of delivery at the Boston Herald.

Irwin and Sylvia were married on November 10, 1957. They would have celebrated 66 years of marriage this year. Together they had three children and four grandchildren. Irwin loved his family above all else.

His happiest moments were by his backyard pool or at the Cape house with his children and then later his grandchildren by his side. Irwin’s goal in life was to be all inclusive and make everyone happy. It gave him joy to make people laugh and smile.
