Richard Isaacson Jr.

I had Coach as my AP History teacher. I loved that class and have the best memories from there. Coach will truely be missed!

I would like to extend my condolances to Dick's family. Dick and I played football and baseball together, amongst other things, at Peoria Manual High School 1963-1966. Dick was a very good friend all of the years we spent together. May God Bless and keep you all.

I just found out that Coach Ike passed away last week. I had him for AP History in 2000-01, and I have very fond memories of that class. Coach was a great man. I am so sorry for your loss.

Coach Ike was a great teacher and I'll always remember my AP History classes with him. He had a completely different way of teaching and I remember how much I enjoyed him and his class. My prayers are with his family. Cheers to a great teacher, coach, and man.

I attended PHS 99-03.

I had Mr. Issacson for AP History during my junior year at PHS, in 2000-2001. I have fond memories of the class and of Ike.

My prayers go out to your family.

I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Isaacson. Although I never had him for a teacher at Central, I went to grade school and high school with his daughter. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Dear Isaacson Family:
We are sending our sympathy to each of you at this time. It is hard to believe someone so active can really be gone.
His mother is a cousin of mine and I use to watch Dick grow up in those long ago years as a mere child. He was so cute with his two dear little sisters.

Coach Ike was a great man. he had a great influence on how i lived my life. i played for coach from 98-02. those times were very hard fo me, he went out of his way to help mentor me on and off the field, but mostly off it. My regret is that i never told him after all this time, but im sure he knew or knows now. i am very sorry for his loss. I too loved coach Richard Isaacson.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Isaacson was a great man and a great teacher. He was very passionate about his job and his students. He made class interesting and fun. I'll never forget those classic Coach Ike stories, just thinking about them makes me smile. Mr. Isaccson will be greatly missed, but he will always be in our hearts and memories.
