It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Ira Robinson. Amongst numerous roles with VATUSA and VATSIM, Ira served as my Deputy Director (VATUSA2) from 2016 to 2018. Ira also served our community as the VATUSA DCRM, ZNY ATM, VATNA Deputy Director, and served the VATSIM Membership Department. He loved VATSIM, VATUSA, the community and his family. Ira was a wonderful man and role model, and will be missed by many.
