Notes - From his daughter, Marcelle Pollakoff London:
"In the Jewish religion, birthdays are (referred to as) so many days before or after, or in between, a holiday. So (Uncle Izzy's) fell on Valentine's Day one year, so that's the one he picked!
"He enjoyed being with people. He had all kinds of jokes to tell people. He was crazy about his granddaughter (Sue London).
"He came to the US because he didn't want to be a rabbi in Russia."
Izzy's niece, Ruth Sheinaus Asimov (daughter of Izzy’s younger sister Nettie) called her uncle "friendly."
Ruth's daughter, Nanette Asimov, also remembers him that way.
In her 1914 letters to fiance Louis Sheinaus, Nettie Pollakoff refers to her brother as Isidore, not Isaac.
But Izzy's daughter, Marcelle London, identified him as Isaac on his death certificate, and he is Isaac on census records.
Izzy also spelled his last name with one “l,” Polakoff. Others in the family spelled it with two, “Pollakoff,” which is how it appears on the grave of his mother, Esther Pollakoff.
