I will always remember Irving as a sweet, gentle man. Irving and Marion were the first islands to walk over to say hi to us when we bought the cottage in '89 and I remember Marion telling us about using the lichen on our big rock to dye wool. I had no idea this was possible so was fascinated. To this day, I think of them when I look closely at the lichen on that rock.
Whenever I ran into Irving at the marina he would always take time to stop and chat, and he and your mom would occasionally wander over to the cottage for a nice visit. Irving was a lovely man, he will be missed.
