Isaac Heimbinder

I think about Isaac often. He was such an inspiration to me and those around me. He was also a voice of calm when we needed that. He led us through many difficult situations and he always seemed to know the best way to go. What he and Sheila did for Project Row Houses was so phenomenal. Their generosity and brilliance made it happen. I miss Isaac and when I look back on my 50 year career he and just a few other mentors made everything possible for me. That Houston list includes Isaac and...

It is hard to believe that four years have passed since Isaac left this world far too soon. Not many days go by without me thinking about him and Im sure that even while it may not be at a conscious level a day doesnt go by that what I learned working with doesnt him influence how I go about doing my job. There is no doubt that the opportunity he gave me in taking on my first Regional role opened doors for me that I continue to benefit from today and has blessed me and my family ever since....

For some strange reason I thought of Sheila and Isaac this morning. It's March 10, 2018 (2 years later) and I did a search only to find the obituary for March 6, 2016. Words cannot express the admiration I have for the Heimbinders, I served with them as a board member at Project Row Houses. They were instrumental in the success of that organization which is clearly flourishing today. Why write this now some would ask, when this will never be seen? The answer is simple. It is never too late...

Sadly, I just learned of Isaac's passing. My heart felt sympathy goes out to Sheila, Daniel, Aimee and the rest of the family. May your most wonderful memories of and with him bring you comfort and keep him close. I was glad to have met him through art events in Houston and come to know his kind and gracious personal warmth, sincerity and charm. May he rest in peace.

In deepest Sympathy,

I met Isaac in connection with the HBU museum essay contest sponsored by The Morris Foundation. I had been asked to help coordinate the contest so I met with Isaac and the Morrises. He was such a font of ideas and such a creative thinker - that was immediately clear to me. It was Isaac's idea that a student essay contest would help draw students to HBU's museums. It was a great idea and we ran with it! He attended several of our annual awards dinners. At our most recent dinner Lisa Simon...

My sincerest condolences to Sheila and the entire Heimbinder Family. I just found out. I worked with Isaac for many years at DiverseWorks and then later with Isaac and Sheila at Project Row Houses in Houston. There would be no Project Row Houses without Isaac & Sheila's generosity and vision. I am at a loss for words. I had no idea until tonight. My thoughts and prayers to the entire Heimbinder Family, most especially to Sheila.

Isaac was a client, but much more of a friend, for many years. He was wise and funny and deeply honorable, and the world is lessened by his passing.

So sorry to hear of Isaac's death. We knew him at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn. We remember his wonderful personality and great sense of humor.
Sincerely,
Mona & Stephen Brecher
