JOHN CORNELIUS ISAAK
John Cornelius Isaak died May 20. He was born Dec. 28, 1916 in Alexanderpol, Russia. The family immigrated to Canada, arriving in Quebec City Aug. 14, 1924 and settling on a farm in Manitou, Man. John met the love of his life, Kay Fote, in 1938 and they were married 2 years later. John registered as a conscientious objector during WWII and worked as a machinist. In 1947, the family moved to Chilliwack, B.C., where John worked as a logger and raised raspberries. John rededicated his life to the Lord and was baptized in 1958, joining Broadway MB Church. There he served as an usher and Sunday school worker. In 1968, John and Kay moved to Port Coquitlam, B.C. and joined Willingdon Church, where they enjoyed many years of service as kitchen stewards. They moved to Abbotsford in 1981 and transferred their membership first to East Aldergrove MB Church (now Ross Road Community Church) and then to Clearbrook MB Church. In retirement, John enjoyed travelling, golfing, watching hockey, and fishing. Predeceased by 4 brothers; 1 sister; son Ron; he is survived by Kay; sons Bob (Julia Blanchet) and Ken (Esther Klassen) ; 3 grandchildren; 1 great-grandchild; 1 sister. The celebration of life service was May 28 at Clearbrook MB Church, Abbotsford, B.C.
