A Tribute to Ron Isaak
by Ben Stobbe

Ron Isaak was a strong supporter of Mennonite historical studies. While he excelled in his chosen profession as a civil engineer he also devoted a great deal of time to genealogical research and writing. He contributed to “Roots and branches” and was helpful to many in showing how internet navigation and search functions were helpful in undertaking genealogical research.  Even while battling cancer he continued to work on his project of researching his Isaak family history.

Sadly he could not finish this and other projects. Ron passed away in November 28, 2005.  He is survived by his wife Bonnie Safronick Isaak and children Kristy, Jeffrey, Michael, James, and Jennifer.

He will be missed by readers of this newsletter.
