Mr. Isosaki was a very personable man. He didn't let his disability get in the way of making friends. He always 'looked" at the brighter side of things: He always made a day brighter. I delivered his mail almost everyday for about 5 1/2 years. He couldn't see me, but he'd always wave (he must've known the sound of my jeep). In Heaven he will see us,too.
