John Augustine Irr

Loving husband of Marilyn L. Irr (Née Metke) of Vero Beach FL, formerly of Ft. Pierce FL and Clarence NY. Beloved father of Christine Irr (Diane Harig), John A. Irr III (Becky), Karen Nichter (Paul) and Andrew (Camille) Irr. Much loved grandfather and great grandfather. Survived by his brother William (Patricia) Irr, Getzville, many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by his sisters Virginia Durfee and Nancy Kick.

John enjoyed many happy times at the family’s summer place on Chautauqua Lake, in upstate NY. Upon retirement, 33 years ago, he and Marilyn moved to Ft. Pierce, FL. John and Marilyn traveled extensively in retirement visiting Australia and France and several cruises. As a retiree, he took up tennis - and played well into his 80’s.

John was a loving and devoted husband, a caring and giving dad and grandfather and great grandfather. A kind and gentle man who drew strength from his Catholic faith.

John served in the United States Navy during WW II and as a deserving Veteran, he will be laid to rest in the National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. A funeral mass will be held at St. Helens Roman Catholic Church, Vero Beach, at a later date.
