Irvin "Grubby" Myers Obituary - from Dairy Agenda Today
Irvin "Grubby" Myers died on Saturday, September 3rd. He was 88 years old. He was born in Fithian, Illinois. Jersey cows took him to countless county fairs in Illinois where he met his wife Carol, a Guernsey girl from Highland. Jersey's also took him to Texas and Louisiana in the 50's, brought him to Delavan,Wisconsin in the 60's, where he was the farm manager for then State Senator George W. Borg at Borg Farms. In the 70's and 80's he enjoyed leading cows for Howard Binder in Colorado, working for Tom and Linda Pearson of Pearmont and R.Dale Jones in Wisconsin. In the 90's he worked at Stookey Holsteins and his last professional position was working at Em Tran in Elizabethtown, PA with Dr. Alan McCauley and Steve Mower.
50 years ago Allen Hetts included him in the first World Dairy Expo Show Committee. "Grubby" judged county and state fairs all over the United States and worked many private and public auctions. He was a licensed auctioneer, the first cow he sold was the very last cow at the Piper Farms Dispersal in Illinois.
There are countless unnamed people connected to all breeds of cattle that he worked for and with over his lifetime throughout the United States and Canada. Very few people knew the name "Irvin" Myers was but many will remember "Grubby" and his cigar.
He is survived by his wife Carol, who lives in Plymouth, IN, his daughter Kim and son in law Steve Christman (Rosewood) who live in New Paris, IN.
