More detail on this person: Maj. Thomas
Broadstreet Isaac (USMC, Ret.), 64, died at home
on November 25, 2012. Born in El Paso, Texas, he
was the only child of Jake and Helen Isaac. Tom
graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso
in 1970, with degrees in math and chemistry. He
later completed a masterâÇÖs degree in business
management at the University of Arkansas. Tom
served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 21 years,
where he was a helicopter pilot and a Vietnam
veteran. After retiring from the military, he
taught math at Bartlett High School and coached
girls soccer and softball. He is survived by his
wife of 42 years, Mary Ann, and their children:
Kendra Jeeves (Hayden), Lea Isaac (Fabian), Maj.
Nathan Isaac, U.S. Army (Nancy), Maura Isaac
(Michael), and Julianna Isaac. More than anything,
Tom adored his seven grandchildren -- Anna, Ian,
Dylan, Jackson, Lucia, Olivia, and Marina_and they
were in awe of him.. Tom was a wise and mellow
man, and a great listener. He always seemed to
appreciate the joys of life, especially music,
food, and nature. His vast knowledge and calming
presence were reassuring to his soldiers and his
students, and to his friends and his family, who
all remember him fondly and will miss him dearly.
