Thank you Dad, for everything.  You were the patriarch of a fine family.  You set us all up for success, and we wouldn’t be who we are without your guidance. 

Rich became a successful New York City accounting manager. He is supported by his lovely wife, Amy, Nee Gepes.  His daughter, Jessica followed in his footsteps by also working in New York, where she designs footwear. His other daughter, Alysia, is a medical doctor specializing in gynecological oncology.  

I had a long career as an educator and writer.  My wife, Iris, has stood with me for 47 years. My daughter, Mollie, married a fine young man named Jacob Turner,  and works a marketing expert for Safelight Repair, Safelight Replace.  That jingle is always in my brain now.  Dad’s grandson Michael, married to Lara Gato of Madrid, Spain, is a college administrator in New Haven, Connecticut.  He and his wife gave Irwin his first great grandchild, a daughter named Nina Rae, one year ago.  I am so happy that Dad lived long enough to see all of this.  

97 years is a long time.  Dad outlived almost all of his peers, supported for many years, by my Mom, Rona Rae Edis, and later, by his girlfriend, Didi Wein.  I always thought it was fate that they almost shared a last name, Wiener and Wein.  

It was a long life lived well Dad.  Rest in peace. In the words of this English teacher, You done good.
