October 26, 1931 – November 26, 2021

Mr. (Cecil) Thomas Isaacs, son of the late John and Vera Isaacs, was born in Brenda, Manitoba on October 26^th, 1931. He was the youngest of five children. He grew up in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.  He married Gloria Buchanan on January 26^th, 1951.  They had three children Daughter Beverley, Son Darcy and Daughter Sandra.  They moved to Grande Prairie Alberta in 1956, then in 1968 migrated West to settle in Kamloops B.C.  Tom was predeceased by Gloria on March 8^th, 2012.

As a young man, Tom thoroughly enjoyed playing hardball and hockey where he and his teammates won many championships. He went on to take up golf and curling and had many years of enjoyment playing with friends and family.  Tom loved his Canucks (you knew this by how much he hated them). During his work life, Tom was a master of many crafts – a tinsmith apprentice, a salesman, automotive business owner and a world class bartender.  Tom was a member of the Kamloops Elks Club for many years and enjoyed the community service and social engagements with many friends.

As he moved into retirement, he enjoyed spending time with his family – mostly centered around gatherings at Tom and Gloria’s house in Dallas, Kamloops B.C.  The house had a swimming pool, which was the great sunny getaway in which most of his seven grandchildren grew up.  On summer afternoons, he could be found singing to himself at the grill, while all the children ran around and the music played. He loved to sing. He was a witty man, and could make you roar with laughter in an instant. His laugh was infectious.

Tom Isaacs passed away peacefully on November 26^th, 2021.   He is survived by Beverley (Gene) Archambault, Darcy (Kathy) Isaacs, Sandra (Rod) Michaud. Seven grandchildren – Desiree (Kelly) Archambault, Brandon (Jaclyn) Archambault, Brianna (Wayne) Isaacs, Darianne (Troy) Isaacs, Dustin (Halle) Isaacs, Adam (Alyssa) Michaud, Corey (Miranda) Michaud, Great Grandson Kellan Isaacs

Tom was a husband, a father, a grandfather and so much more. He will be missed.
