IRVING RAPHAEL ISAACS died Dec.
28, 2011.
He was born Oct. 19, 1917, in
Indianapolis, Ind., to Bernard and Belle
Isaacs. One of four children (siblings
Annette, Ruben and Emanuel) and
affectionately known as "Rip" to fam-
ily and friends, he was brought up in
Detroit, where his father was superin-
tendent of United Hebrew Schools. Mr.
Isaacs graduated from University of
Michigan, where he met his wife, Martha
Lillian Horelick of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Married in 1941, the couple moved
to Pittsburgh. After working together
with his wife as commercial photogra-
phers, Mr. Isaacs joined Pennsylvania
Transformer Company as advertising
manager. He enlisted in the Army Air

awards for direct mail advertising.
During this time, he became presi-

and served as building chairman. He
was president of the Jewish Chronicle,
Pittsburgh, from 1969-1972 and was
involved with numerous charitable
causes. He continued to work in com-
munications and owned and ran several
businesses over the years.
Trained in commercial art, Mr. Isaacs
was an outstanding artist with pen and
ink, oil and later batik and pottery. His
humor was legendary as were his engag-
ing personality and his ability to corn-
municate and relate with family, friends
and strangers. Many sought him out for
counsel.
He loved to fish, particularly for
muskie in Wisconsin and Canada, and
was an avid horseman.
Mr. Isaacs maintained his sense of
humor even in his declining years. He
was an outstanding husband, father and

missed but whose enduring memory will
be cherished.

dren and three grandchildren: Marjorie
(Isaacs) Newman, husband Martin
Newman and their son, Adam Newman;
