  • Gerry Crosby says:

    I had the pleasure of golfing with Erv in the Tuesday guy’s group. He was definitely a good golfer but more importantly he was a good man – he was always friendly and I never heard him speak badly of anyone.

  • Dave says:

    My sincere condolences to Erv’s family as I have known him through our golf events/games for over the past 40 or so years and am surprised to hear of his passing! I always found him to be a real nice, genuine person to golf with and chat about whatever when we would meet/bump into each other at the golf club! I truly respected Irv over the years and must state that in my opinion, he was a true gentleman! He will be missed!

  • Donna says:

    So sorry to here of Erv’s passing. He was one of the pearls on my necklace of life. I worked closely with him for many years and feel lucky to have done so.On some days he was a well groomed, kind and gentle man we called “Papa Smurf”, all dressed in his blue coveralls and that stunning silver hair. On the off times I called him “Hurricane Snider” as he could be a force to be reckoned with!LOL.
    May all his Family and Friend’s memories of Erv put a gentle smile on their faces and a flutter in their heart, as mine will do for me.
    Rest in peace Silver Fox and see you on the 19th hole…. once I get there!
