I realize that Mr. Isaacs passed a while ago so nobody may see this message. Belated condolences. My Father (88 years old with dementia) was talking about Gordon today and the time that they spent in the Navy. He said that he was a good man and asked me to check to see if he was alive. He was saddened when I found this information and stated that he really liked him.
