My heart aches for the family. Issy played a big part in helping with our regalia. He will be missed.
Katie, my thoughts and prayers are with you at the loss of your brother Issy. May he rest in peace. I am having many memories of old times and all of the fun that we had. I didn’t know your brother very well but heard about him often. That was all many years ago. it is very hard to lose a sibling, as I have lost two of my sisters. God bless you and your family.
Issy has always been a very special friend of my family. We have known him & his family for years. They opened there door to all of us when he started operating Two Pony. He always greeted everyone with warmth & friendliness no matter where we seen him. We will miss him, but we also know he’s no longer ill and with his Judy. Always, Sarah, Anthony, Grace & Julia Harvey
So very sorry for your loss, my prayers & thought are with you all.
