A celebration of Dr. Irmiere’s life will be held at 12 noon on Saturday September 24, 2016 at Our Lady of Consolation Church at 1799 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ.
For his many patients Dr. Irmiere gave a new meaning to caring and trust.
Victor Joseph Irmiere, MD, a family physician for 47 years in Wayne, passed away peacefully at home on September 5, 2016 with Eleanor, his devoted wife of 55 years, at his side. For his many patients Dr. Irmiere gave a new meaning to caring and trust.
Dr. Irmiere was a gifted family physician with a very special intellect that melded well with those around him. It could be said that he was a physician who could easily and kindly relate to just about anyone. As he once said: “It is interesting how things worked out…my Dad was once a shepherd. Before working as a weaver in Paterson, he tended his family’s sheep in the town of Cerreto in Italy. I, too, became a shepherd but not for sheep, I became a shepherd for people.” And shepherd he did as he guided thousands through a myriad of health issues over the years.
He received his formal education at PS #7 and Paterson Central High School then went on to graduate from Rutgers University and Hahnemann Medical School (now Drexel University College of Medicine) in Philadelphia. He received his Medical Doctor Degree in 1955.
Dr. Irmiere began his medical career in Paterson after completing his internship and residency at Saint Joseph’s Regional Medical Center. He held the post of Captain and Family physician in the US Air Force at Webb Air Force Base in Big Spring, Texas. In 1973 he came to Wayne General Hospital in Wayne and was affiliated with Saint Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson. He served as the Medical Director of Passaic Valley Hospice and Llanfair House Nursing Home in Wayne and was a member of the American Medical Association, the Medical Society of New Jersey, and the Passaic County Medical Society. He was a founding member and parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation Church in Wayne.
While at St. Joseph’s he met the love of his life, Eleanor Anna Hudak Irmiere. They married in 1960 and had six children – Alice Marcy (Brian), Claudia Irmiere (Lorraine), Andrew Irmiere (Ann), Dorothy Levorse (Anthony), Victoria Randazzo (Thomas), and Maria Parry (James). Their family continued to grow with eleven grandchildren. Dr. Irmiere leaves behind many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Florence Vanacore of East Hanover, NJ, is his last surviving sibling.
He was pre-deceased by his father Nicholas of Cerreto Sannita, Italy and his mother Leonarda Agrusti of Alberobello, Italy, his brother Frank Irmiere, and his sister Grace Falco.
Dr. Irmiere was devoted to his family, cats, gardening, food, Italian opera, WQXR, and his Catholic faith. He was a good man with a good heart and gave of himself always even in death as he donated his body to a NJ medical school for anatomic study.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Passaic Valley Hospice, 783 Riverview Drive, Totowa, NJ 07511 or Our Lady of Consolation Church.
