I worked with Ike, like a lot of other folks, at Energy Northwest. Ike was a really good guy – no other way to say it. He was always easy to talk to, knew what needed to be done, and when he said he’d take care of something, it was a done deal. I’ll miss him.
My heartfelt condolances to all of you Isakson’s. The Lysher’s have only fond memories of Bob in all our growing up years; he was the kindest soul.

Dear Diane and family of Bob,
Our sincere sympathy and love to you and all of your family.
We didn’t know Bob but knew his mom and Diane while we were at RLC.
I grew up knowing the “other Vi” and Percy family…Barbara and David. Southside neighbors for many years.
God’s Blessing to you all.
You will be in our prayers.
Carl and Ruthann Jensen
