DC Tom Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Any time I hear someone with ALS (or Alzheimers, or a few others things) has died, I feel more relief than sadness. Bye, Irv. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... his best ad hoc time was calling his son in San Fran after the earthquake when it hit him personally and I saw his last telecast when he broke up during his farewell speech, much deserved Buffalo TV channels in the 70s and 80s gave me a lot of personalities that were human and stayed their whole careers for my informing, thanks Irv!!!!!

Thanks to Irv, I grew up thinking that house fires were no big deal, because they were so bloody common it was just the natural order of things.

row_33 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) What was the worst thing they made him do for local news? Like the time they asked him to stand too close to a bear at the zoo and he got clawed or something......
