To Dian, Brenda and the whole family:
Just learned of Ira's passing by checking the Montano website online.
After Odile's death we didn't keep in touch as well, and were all busy with businesses and raising children.
Ira was a gentleman, had a great sense of humor and I know that he missed Odile very much.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

I am sorry to read of Ira's death; we were classmates at Canton HS. From what I read in his obituary, he surely lived up to his "Most Likely to Succeed" designation in our Yearbook. You have my deepest sympathy.

To my cousins Brenda, Diane and your families .I am so sad to hear of Uncle Ira's passing .I will miss visiting with him he was so interesting and told the best stories.My heart goes out to you all.Love you all Paula

To Brenda and Diane: we were saddened to learn of your father's passing; your family is in our thoughts and prayers. With sincerest condolences - D&B

Brenda and Diane and family: Ray and I are so sorry for your loss. Ira was a great guy. My dad remembers seeing your dad at the Winsted McDonalds frequently. We are thinking of you both. Sorry we will miss the service we both have prior commitments! Our prayers are with you both. Love Nancy and Ray Schaller

My prayers and thoughts are with your family. I still expect to see Ira sitting under the pines at Stanclift Cove, reading and enjoying the peace and beauty.

Diane and Brenda, I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your dad will be in my prayers.
