Family in flux: Under the direction of Kenneth Colin Irving, one of the leading industrialist of the 20th century, the Irving family expanded its initial sawmill business into a diversified empire before passing the torch to his three sons, James, Arthur and Jack. But future succession plans are in question. Jack passed away in July, and his nephew, Kenneth, the rising star of the next generation, recently retired after an unnamed health setback.
