University, died Nov. 24, 2012. He led
a rich, full life and touched so many
people — whether they were students,

He will be missed.
Iry grew up in Detroit. He received
his bachelor's degree in psychology from

received his Ph.D. in psychology from
the University of Rochester.
He came to Morgantown in 1966,
where he served as a member of the
WVU Psychology Department for 35
years before his retirement in 2001. He
made sustained contributions to the
department, the university and the pro-
fession of psychology during his career.
He almost single-handedly promoted the
study of the biological basis of behav-
ior at WVU through his research and
teaching. His outstanding teaching was
recognized by the WVU Mortar Board,
Women's Honorary Society.
At WVU, Iry gave much service
through his tireless work on the Animal
Care Committee and in the founda-
tion of the Northern West Virginia
Neuroscience Society Chapter. He always
remained a dear and thoughtful col-
league in the Department of Psychology.
Iry had a love of art, film, nature, trav-
el, other cultures and politics. Following
his retirement, he devoted much of his
talent to working with the Appalachian
Lifelong Learners. He worked very hard
to obtain a $1 million endowment from
the Osher Foundation, establishing the
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)
at WVU.
Iry was a loving partner and supported
his wife of 52 years in her endeavors in
the arts. He was an amazing father and
grandfather, offering much wisdom to
his children, even in their adult years.
