O, chosen love;
O, frozen love;
Sweet tangle of matter and ghost;
O, darling of angels, demons and saints
and the whole broken-hearted Host,
Gentle this soul,
Gentle this soul.
--Leonard Cohen

You were the person who sold me my beloved Met's yearbook with the picture of Buddy Harrelson's wife.In the summer of "73, that was the only thing I wanted and you saved it for me at your garage sale. Not my brother but me.
Took my kids back to Great Neck this summer to see our old house. Can't enter from Northern w/o first seeing your house. It will always be that way.
May your gentle soul be at peace as you continue photographing all of us from a new angle.
Always,
Raelle
I will miss you my dear friend Ira. I will never forget you.
Love,
David Swirsky
You have never been far from my mind nor my heart.
Rest in Peace dear Ira. You are now free from pain.
