After he and Dottie were married, they made their home near Lebanon and lovingly raised their children. Irvin was employed by the Independent Stave Company, now Missouri Cooperage, for forty-two years, and then worked for Bass Tracker for ten years. He always stayed busy, liked working on things and could fix anything.
He enjoyed building, was very particular about his work, and had built five houses. He also enjoyed going to yard sales. He possessed a good sense of humor and never met a stranger.
His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Irvin was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that his family and friends will treasure the wonderful memories he made for them during his eighty-two years.
