Not sure what to say?

Izzy and I both loved coin magic. He was always ready to share anything that would elevate this art. I know that he cherished his visits to the Blackpool Magic convention in England and would never hesitate to share everything he learned with his friends on his return. Izzy, Jack Ritter, and I would occasionally have lunch together and I will always remember those times with a smile. He was a kind, generous, loyal, friend and will be sorely missed. RIP my friend.

So sorry for your loss. May his memory always be a blessing.

Please accept my condolences. Mr. Schwab was an intelligent, funny and very charismatic man.

With heartfelt sympathy & condolences to the family, May peace be with you. Mr. Schwab had been a dedicated customer of ours for many years, may he rest in peace.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Fond memories of a true gentleman with a twinkle in his eye and a magician with something up his sleeve (literally). Always a welcoming presence when I spent time with Dan and friends at their home during HS and college. Schwab family-hoping the many fond memories of Izzy continue to enrich your lives.

Dear Dan, Patty, Madison, Alexa & Sammy, My deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of your beloved father and grandfather. What a life well lived and a most wonderful legacy he left. I am thinking of you all and sending you hugs. May Izzy´s memory be a blessing and may he rest in peace. Love, Fran

Izzy and D&H was a valued distributor for over 40 years. Always open to to new ideas. More recently he, Elaine and Sugar were neighbors in Susquehanna Township

Mr Schwab was a wonderful, influential man to us growing up in Harrisburg. Great sense of humor. Performed magic shows for us at birthday parties. Built a life size space lander in his back yard. Gave us our first look at computers, video games and new technologies. Shared with us his rc plane, car and helicopter hobby projects. Daring Vespa scooter and dune buggy rider. Encouraged us to have fun but also to be respectful. Will be missed but definitely remembered.
