Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Not sure if this in the right place but have heard today that Isaac has passed away, he will no doubt be known to many on here, I think there was a thread that mentioned him. I don't know any more details but it's from a reliable source.

Also that Pasco ( of Pasco-Sav Salon) has died on friday aged 51 . Not a good week for Accy's characters.:(

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Been mentioned on 2 other threads Linds.;) Tis true.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Isaac's death already noted on two other threads, Lindsay

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Just found 1 of them. Sad, he was a true character, apparently played drums well (posibly even on a Hawkwind track!)

As for Pasco, he'd been ill for a while and apparently was on a transplant list. Damn shame, he was an entertaining guy, my condolences to his family. :(

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Does anybody know when and where Jeffs funeral is going to be held?

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Pasco was a true gent. Sleep well matey x

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Didn't know Isaac, but had my hair cut by Pasco many times over the last 30 years approx. from when he worked in Blackburn.

He was one hairdresser who understood my frustrations with my curly hair and was very patient with me. How very, very sad.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

That's very sad. I was at school with him, many years ago. Always a real character. Saw him a few weeks ago and had to help him off the pavement into the road, he was so weak. R.I.P Isaac.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Do remember him, not very well though as I left in the 60s but I know our Brian was a mate of his and remember his name being mentioned quite a lot then.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Rest in peace Isaac and thanks for many happy memories

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

I am in touch with a family member of his... ( but not a blood one) she can not find anything out... and it looks like the town will sort his funeral out.... so I dount if anyone can go if that's the case.... I personally would like to send flowers but have no idea where to send them... if anyone knows please pm me..... so sad to think his end will be in this way.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Accrding to the www:

The Council is under a statutory duty to make arrangements under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 for the Funeral or Cremation of the body of any person who has died or been found dead in the Borough where it is established after investigation that there is no possibility of an alternative cause of action.

The following page from HBC website gives a contact person who may be able to help.

A to Z of services - Municipal funerals

Just because it's a municipal funeral doesn't mean you wouldn't be allowed to go. If you can find out where and when it is, you could go along and take some flowers with you.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

If this is true, a very sad state of affairs. He deserves better than that.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

its pasco's funeral this morning ... pasco had cut my hair for over 25 years .. and ive known sav for over 30 years ..

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Lousy day for a Funeral, but at least Pasco got a good sending off.
The Church, St Anne's, was full.
Sad to lose him

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

For anyone interested in Geoff Heyes Funeral arrangements. The cremation is taking place at Burnley Rd Cemetery on Friday 29th June at 3pm. RIP Geoff.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

I have to say that when I read this thread the name didn't ring a bell, mind you I haven't been in Accy drinking for 30 years, but when I saw the photo in the Obs yesterday I suddenly realised who Isaac's was, he used to come to practice sessions with the band back in the 70s always brought his own drumsticks and like to sit in for a few numbers I knew him as Geoff though RIP

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Would imagine you'd know his mate, Florrie, too - ex-Holy Family and another good drummer!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Wyn probably do mate, but maybe I know him under his real name, although Florrie does ring a bell somewhere:confused:

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Sorry, Jay - Kevin Florentine.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Na Wyn don't know that name at all, how old will he be, I left Holy Family 50 years ago this month

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Would estimate about the same age as Isaac - 63-ish. Perhaps a couple of years younger than you, so possibly your paths didn't cross. Cashy knows him very well.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

He's about the same age as cashy, and I don't remember cashy from school

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

A couple of years is nowt at our age, but a big gap when you're a teenager. Would imagine you'd probably know Florrie by sight.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Ya no doubt Wyn you'd actually have thought I'd have know cashy by sight too after all he has an unforgettable fizzog don't he:D:D:D

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

I'm saying nothing! ;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Kev was in the same class as me at school. I'm surprised you don't remember him. Bit like Issac, he was Leg end in his own time.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Right, I've a question - why was he called "Isaac"? I was talking to a mate of mine earlier and he suggested that it might be after Isaac Hayes. However, I knew him as Isaac right from the mid-60's, when Isaac Hayes was completely unknown, so it seems unlikely. Anybody any ideas?

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Was wondering that meself on Friday, will ask Florry or Vito next time i bump into em, if they don't know no-one does.;) I always knew him as Isaac from around 62 ish,

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Right, cheers, mate. Isaac Hayes, future soul superstar was just some unknown bloke hanging around Memphis in '62, so that's that theory out of the window!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Like Cashy, I always knew him as Issac. Again like Cashy its probably in the early 1960s when I first met Issac. His mum. and dad lived at the bottom of Manchester Rd, around about were the Park Inn is. Cashy's right if anybody knows its Vito or Kev.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Yeah, they lived on the block below Christ Church Street. Remember going round to his house once. As you say, hopefully Florrie or Vito will know the answer!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Ya I've been thinking about it since Wyn mentioned him yesterday, I certainly remember you, but florrie, just can't put a face on him although the name does ring a bell

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

He was drummer with the Francis T. Construction. Think Atarah once posted a pic of 'em posing by the side of the market hall.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

I've just put the bands name in the search and it came up with an Obs clip, but Florrie wasn't on the photo, the only one I recognised was Tom Robinson

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

There's no particular reason why you should remember from school. It was just that he was in few groups at that time.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Right aint seen Kev or Vito, but was talking to another owd mate this morning, n he reckons Isaac was derived from the fact, he was in the school choir n someone called it him n it stuck............ seems credible to me!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

The only ones I can remember in conection with groups are Frannie and Tommie Franks, I was in the same class as Frannie from starting at HF in 59 to leaving in 62, never really bothered with the group scene until the mid to late 70s Bernard

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Ya I can understand that too cashy I got the nickname JD and there are people who still use that today, when I see um that is

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Seems credible enough. I can never really imagine Isaac being a choirboy!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Me neither,seems he was though.:D Keep The Faith,may know, though younger,used to walk to school wi him?

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Right, well, it'll make a good discussion point in the Oak Lea! :D

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Are yeh a mindreader?:D;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Doesn't need to be Cashy, everyone knows the Pub's the place were all answers are found & the World is put to rights. :)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Ya everybody knows that so why don't politicians hold their meetings in pubs:D

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Because they're not like normal people & can't think like sensible folk, you've seen how bad their ideas are when they're sober ?????? Think what they'd come up with with a couple of scoops inside 'em. :eek:

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

At least then they'd have an excuse:D

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Any photos of this Florry. The name is so familiar but I can't put a face to it.
I can remember Isaac and Vito even though I probably wouldn't recognise Vito now!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Kev Florentine is definitely on one of the Francis T. Construction shots that Atarah has posted. Blowed if I can find it now, though!

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Think yeh would recognise Vito,sue, whilst people age some change in looks very little.;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

The only one I could find of the FTC Wyn was a cut out from an Obs article and Florrie wasn't on that pic, although I recognised Tom Robinson

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Found one here on post 305.

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...tml#post836514

It's a bit blurred though, so you're probably none the wiser! Pretty sure you'd know him if you saw him, Susan. Your Alan definitely knows him.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

5th from left, stood right at the back, Sure theres a better un n clearer somewhere on here.:confused:

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

According to the line up quoted on the post, he's at the extreme left, but it's so blurred, it's difficult to tell. There is another better shot of them taken between the market hall and the town hall which shows Kev really well, but I can't find it.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Yer right he is extreme left mate, just seen a clearer photo, check out "Albums" by James.;) 4th from right,is me owd classmate at junior school, first crush i ever had. lol

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Hell Wyn that picture is a bit blared, wouldn't recognise my own brother on there, if I had one:D

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Read post before yours.:rolleyes:

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Ya saw that after I'd posted cashy

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Yep, that's definitely Kev.

Nice-looking girl. Still, you always could pick 'em! ;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

She was a good friend of Atarah, Sadly passed away years ago.;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Sorry to hear that.

Talking of Atarah, I'm sure she had a really good pic of Kev in Francis T. on her much-missed "Accrington Uncovered" site.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Presumably this photo?

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Ya Rindi Tom Robinson is the tallest lad at the back

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Thanks Wynonie and Cashman, although the only one I think I recognise is Tom Robinson-5th. from left I think!. Last time I saw him was about 1968 when he was in a backing group to Ben E King in a club in LIverpool.
Hope someone can find a better picture

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Backing the mighty Ben E. King! It doesn't get much better, Susan! ;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Are you talking about Lyn Whittaker Cashy.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Yeh Al.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Sad to hear she`s passed on,remember her in The Bridge on Church St.

Seem to remember she drove a Hillman Imp and a connection with an off license Burnley Rd way?

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Yea Lyn's parents had a shop on Burnley Rd, Lyn went out with Jim Payne for quite a while Cashy. A girl I used to go with was best friends with Lyn, she was a really nice girl, with a great outgoing personality.

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

Lived next door to me on Dowry St, n was in same class junior school al,, before Vera @ Harry bought the Off Licence. P.M.me wi her mates name,probably knew her as well.;)

Re: Accy Legends -Isaac
 

I've just heard back from Jean (Vito's wife) she checked with him about the name Issac and it does go back to when he was in the choir. They did previously have another nickname for him which was IZAL.....because he was so slippery! (The Slippery bog roll) But they changed it to Issac later! Lol!

Best Regards - Taggy
