Henry Otto Isaac's Obituary
Henry Otto Isaac died peacefully, surrounded by his family, on May 30 2015.
Born in Cologne, Germany in 1922; his father managed a family manufacturing industry and his mother Alice was a concert pianist. Henry left the country at 15, first for England and then the United States at the onset of the Second World War. He joined the U.S. Army and saw service from the landing at Normandy until he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. He returned to New York and graduated from City College of New York and did graduate studies in economics at New York University.
He met and married Rhoda Kassof, an artist, art educator and later analytical psychologist and raised two sons, Jan Luss and Jeffrey Isaac. They moved to Switzerland for many years where Henry worked as the head of the English translation department at the Union Bank of Switzerland. After retirement, he and Rhoda settled in Princeton, New Jersey near family. They were long-time residents at Stonebridge.
An avid student of history and lover of good humor and travel, especially in Italy, Henry was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather and dear friend to many who will remember his sweet and generous nature.
He is survived by his wife Rhoda, son Jeffrey, daughter-in-law Sophie, grandson Elias, cousin Eva, brother-in-law Allen and several nephews and nieces.
A memorial service will be announced.
