Obituary of Carl James Isaac
Carl James Isaac
Nov 4, 1935- Aug 13, 2023
Carl was born in Forest ON in 1935, son of Harvey & Gertrude Isaac of Forest ON,. He leaves behind his wife of 67 years, Patricia Isaac, (nee Griffin) along with daughter’s Kim Teeple (Carl) Susan Frankfurth (Dale) & Carla Reaume, along with 9 grandchildren, Amy, Isaac, Kristen, Jennifer, Nicole, Cody, Jeff, Kayla & Kristy and 16 great grandchildren. Others in his life, include step-father George Haley, sister Erma Petroski (deceased), brothers Jerry & Bob Haley.
Many will remember Carl as the owner of the Isaac Foodtown in Comber, for 30 + years, having learned the business in his early days in Sarnia. Those close to him will reflect on his unwavering love and commitment to Pat during her health
struggles over the years. Family will remember his generosity, humility and availability. He served as a volunteer firefighter in the village of Comber. For many years, he and the family enjoyed the Hillsborough cottage on Lake Huron he built as a young man.
Carl’s life had a significant transformation as a young husband and father in his late 20’s, as he came to faith in Christ and started to grow in this new journey. He served faithfully in various churches over the years and never wavered in his
faith. That relationship shaped him into the generous, loving, giving person he was, which was most evident in his care for Pat. His impact and life will be missed by many.

To: All WECSSO MEMBERS
Hello everyone,
As you may be aware WECSSO had planned a golf tournament for August 21, 2020.
Unfortunately, this has been CANCELLED, due to COVID 19.
The intent was to provide a venue for socialization for the players of the various divisions with a day of golf, mingling, a banquet, etc. Given the current environment this is not possible.
WECSSO does plan on holding such a tournament next year! Plan to be part of the 2021 Golf Tourney.
Stay safe,
