It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Dennis Herbert Isaacson at the age of 78 on December 21, 2019 at Echo Village in Port Alberni, BC. Predeceased by his mother Olga; siblings Ross, Arnold, Grace and Joyce; grandson Travis and brother-in-law Gerald Shiner.
Survived by his loving wife of 53 years Jeanette; children Carrie, David (Leanne) and Renee (Rob); grandchildren Kylie, Danika, Collin, Aidan, Cody, Alexa, Emily, Lance and Jamie; sister Jean, nieces and nephews Judy (Al) and family; Karen and family, Randy (Charlotte) and family, Bonnie (Rollie) and family, Dana (Sandy) and family. Dennis will also be missed dearly by his in-laws Barbara (Francis), Russell (Anne), Maureen, Bob (Sandy) as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Dennis was born on the prairies in 1941, which is where he lived until he joined his brother in Port Alberni in 1956. He worked at the plywood mill until it closed, but spent 10 years as a community support worker before retiring in 2004. During his retirement, he enjoyed listening to music, gardening, admiring old cars and spending time with his grandchildren.
Dennis was a gentle and caring man who loved to spend time with his family and friends. He will be missed for his sense of humor, his passion for music, and his kindness for all.
A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 1:00 pm at Holy Family Notre Dame Parish, 4731 Burke Rd, Port Alberni, BC.
