We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Issy Polakow on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. Beloved husband of the late Susan. Loving father and father-in-law of Josh and Ilana, and Shauna and Justin. Adored Zaidy Issy of Maya, Noa, Leah, and Sadie. Cherished brother and brother-in-law of Boris and Jan. Treasured uncle of Adam, Jonathan, and Mitchell. Issy left a lasting impression on all of those who had the pleasure of meeting him. We are incredibly thankful for the overwhelming support that Issy’s many friends provided to him, especially over the last few months. His larger-than-life personality and selfless generosity are just a few of his traits that we all should aspire to.

Issy will be greatly missed by all.
