Alter, Irving J.  With great sadness, we learned of Irving’s death.  Long a member and senior attorney at our firm, Irving will be remembered and admired for his strength, wisdom, tenacity, leadership and vision.  Until his retirement in 1995, he was a counselor and advocate for affordable cooperative housing in New York City, as well as attorney for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and its successor, ACTWU, Amalgamated Bank, and numerous commercial companies.  He will be sorely missed by us and those he served.
