Additional funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the Rock-Randall Funeral Home in Braham, Minn., with visitation from noon until service time on Friday.

Raymond Herman Isaacson was born March 19, 1913, in Stanchfield, Minn., the son of Herman and Hilma (Anderson) Isaacson.

He attended grade school in Stanchfield, Minn., and graduated from Braham High School in 1930.

On March 18, 1936, at the Braham Lutheran Church, he married Opal Margaret Smith.

Mr. and Mrs. Isaacson moved to Charles City in 1950, where they started Ray's Pastime, a recreation parlor and then Ray's Family Kitchen in 1957.

Following the tornado in 1968, the two businesses were combined into one inside the former Gilbert Stone Block Building. They continued with the pizza business, selling frozen pizzas statewide until they built a pizza factory, making Ray's Frozen Pizzas, which were sold and delivered to neighboring states. They sold the factory in 1975.

After the stone building where their restaurant was located was registered on the National Register of Historical Places, they took on the monumental task of restoring it. On April 23, 1980, they unveiled the Union House. They operated it until a tragic fire gutted the building in 1987, after which they retired.

Mrs. Isaacson preceded Raymond in death on Nov. 13, 1992, in Rochester, Minn.

Mr. Isaacson was a member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church. He was confirmed in 1928 at the Braham Lutheran Church.

He was a member of St. Charles Masonic Lodge #141 AF & AM, Mason City York Rite Bodies, the El Kahir Shrine Temple in Cedar Rapids, and the BPO Elks #418 of Charles City.

Living family members include a son and his wife, Dr. Ron and Mary Jo Isaacson of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.; a daughter, Donna Rae Amann of Golden Valley, Minn.; two brothers, Carl Isaacson of Braham, Minn., and Dr. Lloyd Isaacson of Lewisburg, Tenn.; six grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife, parents, a sister and two brothers.
