    • "I never had a bad day in my life" was Irwin's favorite expression. Irwin Frederick Hildman was born November 21, 1916 at Wesley, Iowa to George and Sophia (Wirth) Hildman. Irwin attended school at St. Benedict then helped his father on the farm until he was drafted.

      Irwin served in the United States Army from 1941 to 1945 with the 113th Calvary in Bowie Texas. He served in France in World War II, doing reconnaissance missions. Honorably discharged in 1945.
      After his father's death in 1948 he and his brother Clair took over the farming operations. He was especially proud of his herd of Simmental Cattle, some of the first in the Wesley area.

      On January 7, 1949, Irwin was married to Helen Ramus in Livermore, Iowa. Irwin retired from farming in 1981. Helen died in October, 2003 and Irwin became a resident of the Algona Manor Care Center in June, 2013 and died there on Friday evening, March 14, 2014 at the age of 97.

      Irwin enjoyed fishing, gardening, playing cards and attending stock car races at Algona Raceway, which he continued to do into his 96th year. He especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Irwin was a compassionate person and always there to help someone in need. He was a long time member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Wesley.

      Survivors include his children, Sharon Hildman of Humboldt, Robert Hildman and wife Joann of Algona, Larry Hildman and wife Sylvia of Wesley, and Diane and husband Lloyd Brandt of Algona as well as nine grandchildren, two step grandchildren, eighteen great grandchildren and five step great grandchildren.
