   They had one child, a son Ernest Albert born March 29, 1963.
   
   After obtaining his doctorate degree, Irv was appointed an assistant professor in the physics department of Wesleyan University and served in that role until 1973. In that year, he joined International Laser Systems, Inc. of Orlando, Florida and moved there, taking with him Andy Tomer as an assistant. Irv's work with lasers carried him to the Centre de Recherche Nucleaire in Strasbourg, France where he designed, managed the development, and installed a Nd:YAG mode-locked laser system capable of second and fourth harmonic generation. Later, he was transferred to Kirtland Air Force Base near Albuquerque, New Mexico where he was Manager/Scientist of the Developmental Optical Facility. There he worked on optical component fabrication, optical thin film coatings, and optical metrology in support of high energy laser work in various laboratories throughout the country.
   
   Irv left International Laser Systems in 1976 and joined the Missile and Space Systems Division of Douglas Aircraft Company, working in the Avionics and Guidance Section in San Diego, California on cruise missile navigation theoretical problems in laboratory fusion initiation and containment. While working on the west coast, Irv became ill, and in the winter of 1982 drove back to the east coast to die in his home town of Baltimore on March 1. While he was at Douglas Aircraft, Irv was a member of the Optical Society of America, serving as President of the Optical Society of San Diego in 1979-1980.
