row_33 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Irv was an icon in Southern Ontario, drinking games were based on his 11pm topping story if there was a fire, I had Tonawanda.... Ā his best ad hoc time was calling his son in San Fran after the earthquake when it hit him personally Ā and I saw his last telecast when he broke up during his farewell speech, much deserved Ā Buffalo TV channels in the 70s and 80sĀ gave me a lot of personalities that were human and stayed their whole careers for my informing, thanks Irv!!!!!
