Ira served in the Army and survived the Vietnam Conflict. He then served on the Dallas Police Department upon returning home. After retiring from the police department, Ira and Car traveled all over the United States and Canada in their beloved RV. They successfully visited 49 of the 50 states. They traveled with many friends and family throughout the years.
Some of Ira's proudest moments were being married for 59 1/2 years to his wife; supervising the breath alcohol testing program for the DPD for over 20 years; being wagon master of many caravans for the Holiday Rambler RV Club.
Ira loved being able to help people from being a police officer with the Dallas Police Department to compiling official scores for the Figure Skating Association to being a service tech for their caravans with the Holiday Rambler RV Club.
Ira loved seeing his children and grandchildren grow and become well-rounded adults. He was interested in seeing what they have done and will continue to do.
Ira is survived by his wife Carmilla; his children: Janet Maher, Lynette Scott, Matthew Scott and their spouses Phillip Maher and Jerry Hobson - Scott; grandchildren; Jarrard Weathersby, Zuzanna Maher and Marissa Maher; his siblings Randolph, Penelope and Thomas.
Ira will be remembered as someone who tried to make this world a safer, more enjoyable place to see and do things. His family and friends know God will set him many projects of fixing things.
