R.I.P. John Isaacs, 1915-2009 The Latest / Jan 28, 2009 / 12:32 pm

Just in from Claude Johnson of www.blackfivesblog.com.

It’s with deep sorrow that I report the passing of former star basketball player and community leader John “Boy Wonder” Isaacs. John passed away this morning at the Albert Einstein Hospital in the Bronx, New York. He had suffered a major stroke last week, from which he never arose. He was 93 years old.

To help honor John, please feel free to leave a comment, share a memory, retell a story, offer a word of inspiration, or leave a parting thought.

The Bounce Familia extends our heartfelt support to Mr. Isaacs’s family. May he rest in peace. Thanks, John.
