JOHN ISAAK JR.>/h3>

John Isaak Jr. died peacefully Nov. 30. He was born in Winnipeg Jan. 25, 1950, to John and Agnes Isaak. After graduating with the first computer technology class from Red River Community College, Winnipeg, he spent the next 30 years at Manitoba Telecom Services in a variety of computer-related jobs. An early retirement package allowed John to pursue other interests and to continue working with computers part-time for the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. John's faith in God was the guiding principle in his life. This was reflected by the way he treated others and cheerfully greeted them. John's unique sense of humour and playful manner infected those around him. John's hands were rarely idle; he enjoyed woodworking and a plethora of other hobbies. He readily shared his skills with anyone in need. He also had an unquenchable desire to experience the world through travel. He was a member of Jubilee Mennonite Church, Winnipeg. He is mourned by his parents; wife Bonnie; children Nathan (Alanna), Tristan, and Rachel; 2 grandchildren; 1 brother; 1 sister. The celebration of life service was Dec. 6 at North Kildonan MB Church, Winnipeg.
