Truly sorry to hear of this passing, Uncle Izzy was an amazing man who is the centre-point of many memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. He was a kind, generous, and loving man who will be greatly missed by not only my family, but many others whose lives he touched as well. - Posted by: Doug, Sharon, and Hayley Sontag (Family) on: Nov 22, 2013

We never saw Uncle Izzy that much so we were delighted to see him at Mom's 80th birthday last April. Izzy, Pat and Janice were one of the best surprises my Mom has ever had. It was a great family get together. So we are all pretty shocked and saddened by his passing. It was peaceful though, the way he had wished. He will be remembered for that inner peace and calmness that guided him. - Posted by: Jim Sontag (Nephew) on: Nov 22, 2013

Izzy was Secretary General of WACA for two years, during which we shared the joys and burdens of guiding WACA when the Association was enjoying a superb period in the Aviation Industry. After that, we parted ways and only saw each other a couple of times. Nevertheless, it has been a shock to learn of his recent passing. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Julio Seiz (Friend) on: Nov 20, 2013
