Pete was the youngest son of seven children, 4 boys and 3 girls, of John F. Isaac who had moved the family to Dinuba in 1946. He accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior in the 7th grade. Pete went back to Kansas in 1948 to marry Erma Friesen, “the most beautiful girl in church.” He found out later she was also the best.
