Setting an unbelievable example to his children and grandchildren, Irv worked well into his 80's, befriended everyone he met and lived life with optimism; often quoting his favorite saying, "this too shall pass." Irv was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Eva Cell and his brother Milton. In addition to his wife Renee of 69 years, Irv is survived by his 3 daughters; Carol Sigman (Mark), Terri Eisenberg (Bradley), Pamela Litt (Jeffrey); 7 grandchildren; Adam Eisenberg (Kelly Link), Aimee Eisenberg (Jim Toomey), David Sigman (Jayme), Danielle Jurisz (Benjamin), Kimberly Friedman (Matt), Justin Litt (Kendra), & Mackenzie Litt (Tristan Peters); 3 great-grandchildren; Harper Litt, Shoshana Sigman, Jacob Litt; & his brother Raymond.
