My deepest condolences to the entire family on the sudden passing of your uncle Ira. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I know I can't make your pain go away, just know that GOD got you all. Uncle Ira is now one of god's angels guiding and protecting each of us. Think of his wonderful SMILE that was so infectious, it makes you smile too. Cherries the memories you all shared with him.

I'll cherish my 2022 Thanksgiving memories with uncle Ira. Our late night conversations about the nice Jamaican food and music. Our morning breakfast over roast breadfruit. I remembered his telling me that is going to stop to buy 3 breadfruit before headed home. I asked him why 3, he smile and said, "3 a my lucky number man"

Rest in LOVE uncle Ira,

Michelle Ali and family.

Uncle Ira had a big heart. On top of that, he just knew how to make many of us laugh and smile. He had the energy and swag as if he were a couple decades younger—which is a gift. Not many people could have pulled that off. He loved all of us, and still loves. A vibrant spirit like his lives on. Rest easy Uncle Ira 💜

Dear Uncle Ira,

You will truly be missed. With your jovial personality, your jokes could light up any room, and it seemed like you never had a moment without that infectious smile. Your energy was boundless, making every family gathering lively and full of joy. What made you unique was that even through challenging times, your resilience shone through and your smile never left, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to share moments with you.

Although you are no longer here with us, as unreal as it feels, the echoes of your laughter and the warmth of your perpetual smile still lingers. So as tough as it feels to soak in, there is comfort, knowing that you are now under God's wings, safe and protected.

Love You Always! S.I.P. Uncle Ira ❤️🪽
