I had researched Isaac, my cousin a year or so again.  I thought perhaps it was not him because he was Jewish. As I just looked through the wonderful pictures, I saw a bar mitzvah picture so my guess is he must have converted later on in life. There was a picture that looked like his parents.  I have this picture from Isaac's aunt that look likes it could be his parents.   Anyway,  my condolences to anyone who was close to him. May he rest in peace

Isaac came in on a song and dance to our hearts
I will never forget the first time I met Isaac, as I would come to know him, his special way of making an entrance, would be an understatement.  
Later I would learn much about Isaac’s strong business skills, talent  and sense of humor, at lunch, and during our tour where he broke out in song several times, serenading myself, and the staff and residents along our tour, which is where he stole our hearts.
After much negotiating, Isaac picked out his new home.  He quickly became a favorite, as he charmed many of the residents with his wit, talent and wisdom, and just being Isaac.
Always looking for adventure, Isaac signed up for acting classes at St. Petersburg College, (where he went on his own accord, via his scooter and the bus system), was in the process of “staring” in their local play, where he played the Woodsman, who saves“Little Red Riding Hood”.   
I will always remember Isaac as a hero, who celebrated life to it’s fullest.  The last time we spoke, he was taking a nap on his scooter in the lobby after an afternoon of live music.  I gently tapped him on the shoulder to ask if he was okay, and he looked up and smiled and said “that was some really good music”.
We are grateful to have had the opportunity to have had Isaac a part of our lives, we know he is dancing and singing with the Angels, as he is a part of their family now. With gratitude, blessings and love to all those who loved and took care of Isaac, especially to Anthony and Cory and his family.  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have known him.  


I knew Isaac when he was a resident of Elison Pinecrest.  We did several "radio plays" (scripts from old-time  radio shows, but read to the audience) and he was a VERY talented "character" actor.  I enjoyed working with him, was sorry when he moved away, and thought of him often.

I have known Isaac for several years, when he lived at Pinecrest in Largo. He was a wonderful singer, and I often accompanied him on the piano when he performed for the residents at Pinecrest. I remember when he tried out for America's Got Talent and was so anxious to know whether he would be chosen for the show. Being a musician myself, our hearts were joined as we talked of anything "musical". Isaac was a good friend.  

Isaac was a delight to me and the other members of our Bible study at PineCrest Retirement Community!   He came in one day and wanted to learn more about the Bible.  After several months and many questions later, Isaac placed his faith and trust in Christ!   He continued to grow in his faith and found a church family at Indian Rocks Baptist Church.   I will miss him but look forward to meeting him again one day in eternity!!
