I am the mother of one of Capt. McIsaac's students at the Bullis School in Potomac, Md. I can only tell you that Capt. McIsaac brought math to life for my son. He made learning a
wonderful experience for my son and the entire family. He was a remarkable person with
a love of life and a gift for education and humor. I wish I had thought to tell him how great he was in his lifetime. I felt a need to share this with the family knowing that they felt the same way and that knowing him for the four years our son was at the Bullis School was truly an honor.
Sincerely,
Ruth Becker, Boca Raton, FL

He was my Godfather and best man at my wedding. I am shattered to learn of his passing, but enormously gratified to read the loving tributes from his classmates at Annapolis. He had great energy and a relentlessly positive outlook. I pray that he might rest in peace and that light perpetual might shine upon him.

I met Tom when my husband, John Camp, was in hospital at Bethesda. He was so warm and cheerful. It was a stressful time and Tom conveyed reliability and kindness.
His manner left one with a feeling that all would be well eventually. He was a friend for all time. Blessings on you at this time.

Tom was one of those classmates who fulfilled every aspect of being a gentleman. Stalwart and cheerful, he was a good friend. Memory of his smile and great good humor will last as long as I do. With deepest sympathy. Jerry Holland

Tom was one of my earliest friends at Annapolis. We were both in the 14th company, and I remember visiting with him and his mom and dad, Tony and Nova, at their DC home, and 100 other things over the past 60 years. Tom had a great Navy career, and after that spent a lot of his time serving others, teaching others, and always looking out for people who needed help. He is the exemplar, I feel, for a life lived in service to others, and Diana and I mourn his passing.

It was with deep regret that I learned of Tom's passing. He was not only a company-mate (14th), but also a good friend. In retirement, since we both lived in the Washington DC area, we crossed paths frequently, My enduring memory of Tom is the warm, smiling and cheerful demeanour he always presented. I kept up with and admired his teaching accomplishments at The Bullis School, and appreciated his input to our "Thirty Years Later" book. You can certainty be proud of him.

With heartfelt sympathy

Tom was one of the most admired classmates I have ever known. Over the years of his retirement, I had the chance to observe him as an usher and helpmate at the National Presbyterian Church and also as a volunteer at Bethesda Naval Hospital where he gave enormous amounts of time in various roles. Whenever I saw him, he was cheerful, helpful and caring. He certainly represented the best of our graduates to a wide audience of people in need of care. Admiral Bill Smith
