The first memory I have with my grandpa was when I was five; my aunt, uncle, mom, dad, brother, and I all went to Florida to go visit my Grandpa (and go to Disney World since he lived about twenty minutes from Orlando). We visited with him for an entire day before we set off for Disney World. Within this day, I played his accordion, his piano and a play drum that my parents got me during the one day trip we had to take to get there.The next memory I have with my Gramps is when he came to Michigan for the Woodward Dream Cruise. All of my extended family that I knew very well visited with my family for this event. I remember this because it was only four summers ago. During the time he was with us, he took many pictures of everyone. It wasn’t out of place to always see him taking pictures.He brought me up in an atmosphere that revolved around family, photography, and music; I can honestly say that, right now, those are the things I treasure most on this planet. They are definitely my favorite things.I love you so much, Gramps. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO.##imported-begin##Stacie M. K.##imported-end##
Uncle Irv, you were a great person and a very close family friend. Close enough to be thought of as an Uncle by my brother and I. You will truly be missed by all that were lucky enough to have known you! I have so many great memories of you, like taking you as a Kindergarten show n tell and you played your according for my class. Or when you took me to school in your RV and was mortified but now thinking back that was a pretty sweet ride. You will be missed but never forgotten, and forever be in our hearts!! We love you always Uncle Irv. Always XOXOXO Hugs, hugs, hugs Kiss, kiss, kiss##imported-begin##Kelly Donatti Weber##imported-end##
Irv was a very close friend of our family. We have known Irv for 45 years or more. He often came to hour home and played his accordian for us and our two children, Tony and Kelly. He played for my mother and father's 25th wedding anniversary outside in our back yard in our garage when we lived in Troy, MI. Irv would often come over on the weekends and pick us up and take the whole family boating on Lake St. Claire. When we moved to Iowa he came out and visited the kids and us and took daughter to school one day for show and tell and played his accordian. He will always be remembered in our minds and in our hearts. We loved your Irvin.##imported-begin##Joseph Tim Donatti##imported-end##
