My prayers and sympathy for the family and friends of Mr. Irvin. I am Red and MaeNon Martin's son and Mr. and Mrs. Irvin's "down the street" neighbor for many years until they passed away as well. I will always remember coming home late one night and a deer ran in front of my vehicle and it knocked the deer into Mr. Irvins yard. We had to call the vet to come out and put the deer down, but I will always have that memory. God Bless you during this time of mourning.
Praying for the family and friends of our wonderful neighbor.
Uncle George I will miss you greatly. Your stories, creativity and humor were always a joy to share. Rest in Peace, I love you.
