Irwin Gerstner (correct spelling) was born Sept. 21, 1934, in New York City.  He was the youngest child born to David Gerstner and Lina Grosin, immigrants from Romania.  His older brother, Bernard, died at the age of 45 while serving in the United States Army Air Forces in WWII.  Bernard was a 1st Lt. whose team was shot down during a mission near Yokohama, Japan.  The middle child, Murray, died in 1929 at the age of 9.  Bernard is buried at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in Missouri.  Irwin's parents and brother, Murray, are buried at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Queens, New York.  Rest in peace, Irwin.  -Kathleen Hill
