Our prayers are with you and your dear family. It must be so hard to lose a man like Charlie. . He was a wonderful addition to the Singer family. The good news is that you have the assurance of knowing you will see him again .
Mr. Ison was my physics teacher my Senior Year, and it was great to be in his class. He never had a cross word, never had a harsh phrase, nor did he ever malign anyone in a negative manner, and he really helped me to better understand physics. I still tell my own students in my classes about the clock he reworked to run backwards, and some of his anecdotes. He made this world, and my high school education, so much better. My prayers are with his loved ones at this time. Mr. Charles Ison helped me become a better person, and a better teacher...
Mr. Ison was the most influential teacher in my education, hands down. From his backwards clock to his dry sense of humor, I was always challenged to think deeper. I do what I do today because of fundamentals planted in Mr. Ison’s Lab. Forever appreciative and sad to say goodbye.
I am so terribly, terribly sorry. Mr. Ison was my favorite teacher in high school. He not only introduced me to the joys of chemistry and physics but recommended the book that has shaped the direction of my life: _Cry, The Beloved Country_ by Alan Paton.
I owe Charlie so very much! He brought wit, wonder, humor, and grace into the classroom every single day! And he shall always be for me a bright, shining light!
Prayers and thoughts to the entire Ison family. I remember him fondly as my chemistry and physics teacher in the late 70’s. He was a patient and understanding man that took the time for us all to learn and wonder. We young women were so very lucky to have a man like him encourage us to study the sciences during a time when most young women were being gently pushed toward business courses or the social sciences. Thank you Mr Ison for all youdid for me.
