Dear Ira, 

We will miss playing pickleball with you. You left us too soon but we will see each other again in heaven.

When my mom visited you her first time in America.

We will miss you all, but you are never forgotten

Our hearts ache for you and your family as we learned about the passing of Ira. Please know 
that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Ira was such a wonderful man—always active, gentle, and full of good humor. Even though 
he was far away for us, the love and warmth he had for his family in Luxembourg was always 
evident. Ira’s presence lit up every room he entered, and his kindness and laughter will be 
sorely missed by all who knew him.
While words cannot ease your pain, we hope you can find some comfort in the cherished 
memories of Ira as a loving husband and father. His spirit will forever live on in the hearts of 
those who loved him.
Though we are far away, we are here for you.

With our deepest condolences
Germaine & Nicolas Draut-Reuter
Martine & Alain Draut-Sunnen
Tania & Jos Arnoldy-Draut
Mike, Joe and Mandy

Words cannot express my sadness for your loss. 
I only have good memories with him. 
I am so sad that I wont be able to see him again next time I'll go to New York. 
He was always so kind to us. 
He will be missed. 

He will always be my uncle from NY. 

My deepest thoughts and condolences are with all the family xxx

Melissa Reuter.

Dear Ira (cuz),

I still don't find the words to express my sadness of you passing away so early in life. One picture says it all. You always had a big smile to share with your family and friends. You were passionate with 'Your Yankees' - and expressed your love for baseball almost every day -, you liked to play pool, tennis, water polo, listen to music and go to any imaginable music show, you've enjoyed vacation in Aruba but you always found the time for your family and friends and supported them whenever you could.
Your Luxembourgish roots were so important to you and you always maintained your relationship with the 'Lux fam' same as your mother did. I'm very honored to be your cuz and part of the family. We were like brothers. Even if we lived far away from each other, we always found time for a small talk and a good laughter.

Ira, I deeply miss you but I'm sure that you are in good hands with your so loved mom and dad.

Your cousin Patrick

Dear Ira,

You always have a special place in our hearts.

Annie, Sara and Bobby,
Our thoughts and hearts are with you.

With Love from Luxembourg,
Alfred, Nadine & Nicolas
