Fred ISAACS, of Hamilton, Ohio, went to be
with his Savior on December 14, 2009 following a brief but courageous
battle with cancer. He was born on
January 18, 1930 in Red Lick, Kentucky to parents Charles and Gracie (Lainhart)
Isaacs. Fred married his lifetime sweetheart Patricia Eyvone
Hufford in Covington, Kentucky on August 31, 1947, and she preceeded
him to the Lord on September 7, 2008. Fred attended school in Red
Lick, Kentucky and Hamilton, Ohio and he was an active member and
volunteer of the First Baptist Church of Hamilton for many years. Fred
was employed by the Wright Bernett Brush Company in Hamilton for 43
years, retiring as Plant Supervisor in August of 1986. He was the
founder and operator, with wife Eyvone, of the City Shoe Repair in
Hamilton for many years. He also was actively engaged in the
investment property market in Hamilton for many years and
distinguished himself as a successful and caring property owner. Fred
and Eyvone spent their retirement years serving others as volunteers
for Meals On Wheels and driving shut-ins and children to church. They
reveled in their camping and travels, and in sharing their experiences
with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and close
friends. They spent many summers camping at Hueston Woods and relaxing
on their beloved pontoon boat, "Happiness Is...". They wintered many
years in Ft. Myers and Venice, Florida and they camped many springs
and falls in Pigeon Forge. They were rarely separated and he was a
role model of the loving devoted husband. Fred was an incredible
care-giver during Eyvone's extended illness. Together, they raised
five children: Fred, Jr. (Carol), Jane (Joe), David (Angela), Barb
(Bob) and Tom (Pam); the doting grandparents to 16 grandchildren and
great grandparents to 8. Fred was 1 of 4 children, and is survived by
his younger sister Elizabeth (Schmitz), as well as numerous step
siblings, nieces and nephews. The family wishes to thank the staff at
Pavillion and Sunrise for their caring during Mom's and Dad's
illnesses. Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 19, 2009 at
10:00 a.m. followed by the funeral at 11:00 a.m. at First Baptist
Church of Hamilton,1501 Pyramid Hill Blvd., Hamilton, Ohio 45013. Mr.
Jack Young, Dr. Dennis Metzger and Rev. William Brantingham will
officiate at the funeral service. Internment will be at Rose Hill
Burial Park. Avance Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
