Please accept our sincere condolences during this difficult time. He was a kind and decent man and I thoroughly enjoyed the time we worked together at the municipal office. Because we are still in Arizona we will be unable to attend the memorial service.

My sincere condolences to you all. I was very shocked to hear this news today. I am so happy that Irwin was here in December to enjoy the time at the golf course and be recognized for his contribution as a Mayor of Seaforth. He was my neighbor for many years and was a great community member.

Condolence from Dave Ellis on April 15th, 2015 4:00 PM

I have many memories of Irwin and the Johnston family, having grown up as next door neighbors. I knew Irwin as a quiet gental man that always treated me with respect even though i was a somewhat wild teenager.Ill never forget the day I ambushed Irwin with a string of fire crackers. He jumped and probably cursed, but in the end we had a great laugh together. I&&single&&ll always remember the image of Irwin sitting quietly on his porch enjoying his pipe tobacco.R.I.P. Irwin You will be missed by many. I&&single&&m sad that it was your time. My deepest sympathies to Doreen, Elizabeth and Neil, and all of your extended families…….Respectfully Dave Ellis
