Very sad to hear off your Dad's passing as I first met him 5 years ago at a M-OCDS dinner meeting and amazed of all his accomplishments in his community, dentistry and academia at his 'young' age'. Truly a mensch in his own quiet way!! I will always remember our dinner meeting talks. Condolences to the entire Isaacson family. Harvey

I AM DEEPLY SADDENED TO HEAR Of DR. I´s PASSING
HE WAS THE DEFINITION OF A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND FRIEND AND I lOVED HIM
HE AS WELL AS BARBARA HAD A PROFOUND IMPACT ON MY LIFE
I FIRST MET BOTH OF THEM WHEN I WAS 18, JUST A KID
IN THE PAST 34 YEARS I HAVE YET TO COME ACROSS TWO INDIVIDUALS I ADMIRED, OR RESPECTED MORE.
IN MY HOUSE, WHEN SOMEONE MIGHT NOT BE ACTING KINDLY, WE TELL EACH OTHER TO ACT MORE `BARBARA LIKE´
I SPENT MANY DAYS ON THE PHONE WITH BOB, DISCUSSING POLITICS, AND HE ADVISING ME TO CALM DOWN, ONCE HE RILED ME UP.
WHEN I WENT THROUGH MY DIVORCE YEARS AGO, BARBARA AND DR. I WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE I TOLD AND WENT TO SEE FOR ADVICE, WHY? BECAUSE I NEEDED FAIR AND HONEST ADVICE, AND I COULD ALWAYS BE ASSURED OF THAT WITH THEM.
DR. I WILL BE GREATLY MISSED, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN, AND I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE KNOWN HIM AND TO HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED HIS FRIEND.
MY PRAYERS AND LOVE ARE WITH ALL OF YOU
