Although I was not fortunate enough to have known Mr. Irwin, he was a familiar face in Castleton's Casella Theatre where he would be found with his wife supporting Nicole in every college show of her's. Through this difficult time, we must remember that his legacy will forever live on..as will his smile - the smile that everyone saw when him and Nicole were reunited after every show. Rest in Peace, Mr. Irwin. You're in a beautiful place.

It was my pleasure to work with Rick at the Concord Group. He was fun loving and an accomplished professional who touched all who knew him. He will be sorely missed. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his family.

Kathy & Nicole, so sorry for your loss. Rick was the sweetest man we ever knew. My dad, Joe and I really enjoyed our last visit and will treasure that memory.

One of my favorite experiences with the Irwins was at their home in Dracut. Rick and Kathy always had the largest Christmas tree you could imagine and loved to celebrate with friends. One year they had a few of us over, at the same time they had a house full of puppies. We laughed, played on the floor with the puppies all in light of the Christmas tree. It brings a smile to my face today. We'll miss you Rick.

We are so heartsick to hear that Rick has passed on. Our whole family sends our thoughts, love and prayers to you, Kathy and Nicole, now and ever more. Rick was such a vibrant, sweet man who suffered for so long with such dignity. Whenever he was out and about he always had a bright smile on his face. We will never forget the time he came down the hill and lent us your car so we could get to mass after we got completely stuck in your driveway picking up Marie. What a great guy. We will miss him and hope that time and memories bring you both a little comfort. We will never forget your wonderful father and husband. Love, The Mendicinos

I worked with Rick during his time at Union Mutual. He was one of my favorite clients! Rick always seemed to be smiling. Anytime we needed anything, he was always there to help and somehow always seemed to be in a good mood - which is hard to do in this industry! He definitely will be missed here at Colonial Adjustment by all of us who worked with him. My deepest sympathies in your loss of such a great man. May you look to God to help you through these difficult times and find comfort in Him.

Rick was a true friend, a great person, husband and father. When Allstate closed in Massachusetts, he embraced Vermont as his home. Rick made working evenings and Saturdays bearable, if he was having a bad day, he never showed it. Rick, we all will miss you.

My thoughts and heart are with you. When I think of Rick the image that comes to mind is the two of you coming through the door at my brother's house on your anniversary several years ago after you had gone out for dinner. The smile on his face was so large and full of love. His courage and strength these past years were amazing and awe inspiring.

Kathy and Nicole, In one way, my heart aches for your loss but in another way, I think of how fortunate you've been to have Rick as your husband/father. I remember Rick from high school and even then, his love and caring for Kathy was so wonderful. His smile and his laugh would brighten any room. Rick also cared so much about his friends. He was an inspiration, even then. You are in my thoughts and prayers. There is comfort in knowing that Rick is with the Lord and will always be watching over you. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Story shared: Trench coats

When Rick and I worked at Allstate in Burlington we both had tan trench coats. One day I took Rick's coat by mistake and got out into the parking lot before I realized it was his. On another occasion He took Mine and I didn't find out until I went to get my car keys and they were not in my pocket. Luckily he noticed before he got home and came back with my keys. After that I tied a big scarf to the epaulets on the shoulder and we never made that mistake again. Rick was truly a sweet and wonderful man and he will be missed.
