Dear brother of David Ashton, Avraham Yehuda, the late Rachel Charikar, and the late Rivka Kalderon. Devoted son of the late Judah Isaac Judah and the late Elizabeth Abraham. Wonderful uncle and cousin to family around the world. Cherished friend and advisor to many of all ages and walks of life. We are extremely grateful to Dr. Sarit Assouline, Naomi Kogan, and all the staff from the Hematology Oncology unit and 7NW at the Jewish General Hospital who provided exceptional treatment and care. Special thanks to the staff at the Mount Sinai Hospital for their compassion. Finally, the family would like to recognize the outstanding work of Issac's caregiver Lydia Ansah-Aou, who became a friend to him over this past year.
