Ronald Isaacson

Ronald G. “Ron” Isaacson, of Framingham, entered into rest on Sunday, January 11, 2026, surrounded by his loving family, at the age of 83. Beloved husband of Linda (Kannel) Isaacson, with whom he shared 63 years of marriage. Born in Framingham on February 22, 1942, he was a son of the late Leo and Annie (Graubard) Isaacson.

In addition to his adoring wife, Linda, those left behind to treasure Ronald’s memory include his devoted children: Peter Isaacson and his life partner Wendy of Framingham, Randi Isaacson and her wife Sarah Marks of Bolton, and Lawrence Isaacson and his life partner Elizabeth of Franklin; eleven cherished grandchildren: Ryan, Max, Ella, Ava, Marty, Sam, Jacob, Nathan, Daniel, Rachel, and Dana; and three treasured great-grandchildren: Beau, Teddy, and Naomi.

Ron was preceded in death by his brother, Gary, in 2009.

Ron loved skiing, hiking, and visiting the national parks. A dedicated member of his community, he served on the boards of The 200 Foundation and Programs for People, Inc. He also worked for Combined Jewish Philanthropies and owned the former sportswear store which would later become The Fabric Place. A proud Rotarian for fifty years and a Mason for many years, Ron also engaged with his local Jewish community through his longtime membership in Temple Beth Am.
