James Louis Isaac, Sr., died on June 25, 2020 at 88 years old. His wife of 61 years, Carol Jean Taylor Isaac preceded him into death in October 2019. They were the parents of James II (Elsie) of District Heights, MD, Jerry (Angela) of Suitland, MD and Janis Stewart (Michael) of Temple Hills, MD.

Ike was well known for his photographing of weddings of a number of GPO workers' childrens' weddings. He was also a regular at the Has-beens breakfast and long-time member of the Columbia Typographical Union 101-12. Ike spent 4 years in the U.S. Air Force and worked as a Air Traffic Controller. He spent some of his military service in Morocco. For me (Ben Lopez) personally he was a great friend, both having been born in West Virginia and our love of photography. Ike and Carol took a train tour around the perimeter of the United States and during his stop in Seattle he and Carol visited me and my wife.
