Izarbez, Luis:
June 29,1935 - March 8, 2019

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Luis Izarbez after a short but courageous battle with cancer.

Loving husband and best friend of Caroline, cherished father of Maria Teresa and her husband Ivo and Joseph and his wife Michelle. Beloved grandfather of Evan, Sarah, Elise, and Gavin. Luis is also remembered by many friends and family.
