I have just discovered that Irwin had passed away last December. He and I worked together at Purdue Pharma for over 39 years, during which time  we enjoyed a close and warm friendship. Irwin was an intelligent. passionate, and caring individual who gained the respect and admiration of those  with whom he can in contact.  We had kept in contact with each other over the years since my retirement and his. The last I had tried to contact him by phone was in late December, 2017 without success. I can now understand why. My wife and I are truly saddened to learn of Irwin's passing, but warmed by the memories of times we had shared together. Memory eternal!

I am sorry to hear about Irwin.  I worked with him at Purdue and was a dear friend.  He was an incredible person and I will miss him.  He talent was one of a kind and so was he...prayers and hugs.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
