Mr Raymond Olger Isaacson

Ray is predeceased by his parents Charlie and Annie Isaacson and his son Aaron Isaacson, who passed suddenly in 1988.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Sheila and his caring son Curtis (Crystal). He has three step-daughters: April (Horst Krupek), Charlotte (Marco Oscarson) and Penny (Scott Thompson). He also leaved behind 9 grandchildren: Sydney, Trysta-Ray, Tymber, Krista (John Albert), Kylee, Nikila, Larissa, Holly and Joshua.

Also surviving are Ray's two brothers; Calvin (Marion) and Ben (Erma) both of Saskatchewan.

Ray will be missed by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, extended family, in-laws, medical staff, Pastor and Church congregation and of course his loyal morning 'coffee buddies'.

He devoted much of his time supporting his three favourite things: his family, his friends and his community.

Over the years, Ray has touched so many of our lives and souls. His presence was a gift we will always be thankful for and cherish. Despite his ongoing health challenges, Ray was recognized as a pillar of strength, always shining with the most positive light.

His smiling eyes and sincerity will forever live in our hearts. Having the privilege to know Ray has made each of us strive to be better and to have more passion for life.

Ray will be sadly missed, but his attitude toward living life to the very fullest will gratefully touch every one of us forever.

Please share with us in celebrating his life and legacy at 1:00pm, on Saturday, January 3, 2014 at the Chapel of Memories 4005 - 6th Ave, Port Alberni.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully asks that in please take the time today and register to become a future organ donor and/or donate to the charity of your choice.
