A true soldier for our country and His Saviour, Jesus Christ. It has been an honor to know this gentleman for so many years. In 1965 when I became a resident of Sharpsburg, when I married Billy Boswell, Robert Isaac and his wife, Lula welcomed me to the community, church and life long friends. So thankful for his life, his family and his testimony. Love all of you and praying you will be allowing all that loved him to love you. Love Peggy Boswell

Robert Isaac was a Sweetheart and truly a Man of God. I have known him since I was a small girl going to his grocery store with my Daddy. We always talk about being able to share those time of penny cookies and cheese cut from the hoop. We had fun talking about those great memories. He was a dear friend of my Daddy and they were both hard working men. May God Bless all of your family and remember the Happy Days and when you will meet again in Heaven! Kirby & Barbara Dupree
