Russell Lowell Isaacs

Russ, I am so sorry I did not know you left us!
Thank you for the amazing legacy you left in this world! Your life left the Rowe family much richer than when we came to Charleston!
All the work you and Paul share in building the new Elizabeth Memorial Church ! Our fun times together in the keep on snowy nights, flying at the last minute with you to NY or D.C. Or a football game was something this Pastors family will always remember! Our craziness at Stacy's wedding.... your coming to Va for our Cammie's wedding..... your coming to see us in Florida...... these are life long amazing memories in my life! Seems ironic that you and Paul left this world one year apart almost to the day! I hope The Good Lord was ready for you two!!!! What a reunion!!!! Thanks for the memories! We love you and your beautiful family!

Uncle Russ, it's been over a year since you passed away, but I am just now learning of your "homegoing". I was worried b/c I didn't know if you knew that Dad passed away. Typing this makes me feel so much better. I know that Dad was at heaven's gates with open arms welcoming you in. No words can thank you for all that you meant to my family. You were our family, my "Uncle Russ". I love you so much and I hope that you and Dad don't get in too much mischevous in heaven. Love you
.

Thank you for your service to our country Mr. Isaacs!

Just a brief note of appreciation on behalf of Elizabeth Memorial United Methodist Church. Russell Isaacs' faithful work on behalf of our facility built some 40 years ago will always be remembered by those who were here during the transition to a new church building. The challenges were great and Mr. Isaacs' work helped this place become a hub for wonderful ministry even to this day. Many blessings, Pastor Jim McCune

I am so sorry I cannot be with family and friends on Friday May 5.Chuck and I shared so many interesting and fun adventures with Russ. We were so young!
Personally Russ was my Valentine for many years. I do not remember how this started but when I would see Russ he reminded me.
Jill you made him so happy.
Greg, I think I had you in school (GW) and send my special condolences to you and your family..

Family are the only people you can count on in life. Everyone else are just strangers.

So sorry to hear the sad news. We shared much time together in the office and in the airplanes I flew for Hecks.

Words cannot express our deep sympathy to the Isaacs family and sense of loss on the death of our dear friend, Russell Isaacs. He was a great West Virginian and we join with all those who knew and loved him in mourning his passing.

So sorry for your loss, Jill. Russ was a friend and mentor. He will be missed by many.

Way back in 1985, Tidewater Grill opened. That's when I first met Russ Isaacs. I was a host there and Russ became an almost constant patron. He was always very friendly and we struck up a friendship. Tidewater was VERY busy back then and there was always a wait. Russ knew that I would get him seated quickly; usually immediately. He would catch my eye and head to the bar, knowing I would meet him at the other set of stairs to get him to a table. I recall many of his stories and we shared many laughs while I was at Tidewater.

A few years later when I was a Charleston police officer, I would run into him often; sometimes alone and other times when he was with Governor Gaston Caperton. He was always ready to say hello and catch up a bit. He remained the friendly gracious guy that I had met that first time at Tidewater.

Even though I moved away, I remember Russ fondly. I actually repeated a Russ Isaacs story to my co-workers a few weeks ago. I am sorry to see that he has passed. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family.

Thank you so much for your service to our country Mr. Isaacs!

Sorry for the loss
