My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the Diaz family. Knew Erving for a short time, but felt I'd  known him forever. Such a sweetheart and what a hard worker. Was kind and helped everyone. Oh sweet  Erving you will be missed!❤

Irving was a ray of light whenever he was around.  He had a way of just making everything better weather it was the mood, the atmosphere, the decor... the day! I feel so lucky to have known him and to have these great memories to hold on to.  I send my deepest heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones; the world just got a little dimmer without him.

Caro Irv, 

conservo di te il ricordo dei meravigliosi giorni a New York. Vedo che, anche se per breve tempo, la vita ti ha donato l'amore e l'affetto di tante persone. Mi unisco a loro e ti mando un mio pensiero di pace. 

Love you Dahling,

It was a privilege to know Irving thru my daughter,Tricia at her wedding. We shared our love for good food, wine, and its presentation! I'll never eat another CA fig without remembering this dear man and the wonderful week we spent with Irving  thru the wedding weekend. He planned a private wine tasting for the family as pictured.

Erving, you brought sunshine into the room! You were a smart, loving and sensitive guy. Our conversations were always interesting and I looked forward to them. I am so heartsick hearing the news of your passing. Your family is very special to me in every way. My soul aches for their loss. Rest in peace dear friend. Deepest sympathy and love from the depths of my heart.

Although our only connection with Erving was by email we wish to pass on our condolences to Irving's family and friends. This is Matias. A part of Erving lives on, free to roam the Canadian Prairies.
