I worked side-by-side with Irv at HRSI in Wooddale Il . We shared our experiences in the debt collection field, as well as many laughs with our coworkers…namely Charlie, Barry, Ray, and me of course. It was good to know Irv for sure!!🙏😁👍

So sorry to hear of Irvs passing. I remember a recent conversation with him and he told me his true talent was to be a friend to the people he came in contact with, listen to their story and try to reach out to them if he felt they needed a shoulder to lien on or a smile.
Irv, was one of the best in the credit collection field. A gentleman and all of his former co-workers have fond memories of him.
Rest in peace Irv.
