This hurts. I met Ira in about 1986, he was working at Warren Henry Volvo and I was at The Collection. We remained friends since then. In fact, when he and I each ended up single again, he insisted I move in his big empty house, it was like a frat home. Told him when he met Jodi she was a keeper, he made me part of the wedding party. I later got him a job at Mercedes-Benz with me, and we had countless memories. 

So sorry that your last years were so difficult. Kid Kogan, Yitz, Topper, whichever I called you at the time, you are missed. 

I didn’t know Ira well but we shared some classes together.To the family -I’m soo sorry for your loss.

When he was bored he would call me to invite me to meet him at dolphin  training camp . We spent time  together knocking around Coral Gables and Miami Beach .  I could always call on him for advice or talk sports ..Going to sorely Miss you Ira . Until we meet again my friend . R.I .P . 

I worked with Ira in the car business at both Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. he was a great guy to socialize and work with. I will miss him. 

I'm so sorry to have read about the death of your brother. I was just thinking about him recently. My fondest memory of him is sitting out on the Seawall back behind Ocean Plaza and just talking. He was a good man. I wish I had known him when he was younger. May peace be on your house.
