I was a student of Mr. Issakow at the the Defense Language Institute. He was one of the teachers who changed my life with his knowledge, humor and gentle spirit. I will miss him, but I know his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and many students like me whose lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers go to his loving family.
