Isadore Million Obituary

Isadore! I still think of you so often and smile. Right now I am a little teary-eyed, but you still make me laugh, my dear friend . Miss you.

Isadore, Though you are gone, you are still an inspiration. Many fond memories of you and the community that surrounded you.

As someone just pointed out, it has been a year since you've been gone, Isadore. I think of you, sometimes with great sadness and sometimes with laughter. But, my friend, I will always think of you, that's a promise.

Well old friend, it's been a year since you left us. Still think of you often and miss our times together.

Izzy... The profoundness of how special you are is apparent in all the loving tributes here . You were too modest. Heavenly coffee available now. Bless you.

I only learned of Izzy passing today. He is still ringing a message. A special one of a kindman. A diamond of a man and a star in the Heavens now. A gift to have known you, you are a gift to all. You made for unforgettable adventures in Mexico. I just know you are in charge of Penny Lane in Heaven with coffee out of this World, Thanks for all you did for humanity.
Bless.

I worked with Isadore at InMinCo in Broomfield, many years ago and remember him fondly as an honest, helpful and caring man.

I just heard the news my old friend. I knew I would hear it at some point and wondered when. I've imagined so many conversations with you after we last spoke in person, remembering all those times camping and wandering around Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming, talking geology, politics, literature, and whatever else came up with Shadow in the back seat. We did it well. Remember when I ran out of gas on I80 outside of Utah and you hitched us a ride on a semi by putting your thumb out and pulling up the leg of your trousers. We didn't wait for long. Say hello to my dear Shadow for me. I hope you can feel the sadness in my heart. Peace my friend.

Only just heard the news today.
A wise and excellent companion that I met pre-Penny Lane while scrambling in the hills looking for rock samples back in the 70's. Ironically, I was just relating a funny story a couple days ago to my daughter's Girl Scout Troop that involved Izzy and a rattlesnake down near Tubac (AZ). You're STILL bringing joy to the world! To be sure, Izzy, you have touched many and influenced many more. We all are so very lucky to have met you (whether for days or decades).
Miss ya, kid!

Isadore, I can never thank you enough for the great gift that was Penny Lane. You and your funny antics were what made Boulder fabulous. You and Penny Lane are greatly missed! I feel blessed to have been able to sit in Penny Lane and watch you work your special magic with customers. RIP dear funny man!

Isadore, you took me under your wing as a student geologist in 1973. I drove with you and your family from Boulder to Mexico that summer. You mischiefly introduced me to my first jalapeno pepper at a cafe in Juarez, to sardines in mustard on saltines in the desert and you taught me what field geology was really all about. I have thought of you often over the past 40 years and am grateful that fate brought me to this obituary so that I could offer a final thanks. My condolences to Bonnie and your family.

A GREAT MAN !

...simplicity is the last step and the beginning of nature... Izzy gave me a chance and changed my life forever. Where ever you are my friend ....DIG! Much LOVE, RESPECT and ETERNAL GRATITUDE!

My dear friend,
I am so grateful that we connected when we did, Boulder was a wonderful town then and a great place to do business. You were the first business owner I met when I opened and you were so kind and supportive and a great neighbor. I still laugh when I think of all those crazy times, Isadore. You will always be the part of Boulder I love the best. You helped make Heaven II what it became and I am eternally thankful. See you in the Cosmos, my friend.

Isadore, You were a big part of Boulder for me. I worked at Penny Lane in the early 90s.

A really sweet man.

You will always be with us Isadore and you will be greatly missed. Thank you for everything you did for not just me but so many of us. My tears will fall for those of us you have left behind for I know with all my heart your in a better place now.

I'm lighting a candle as a tribute to Isadore Million - a wonderful man who will be missed by so many olks. To think of all of the people who he touched, and helped.... there are so many. Words can not really convey the loss that I feel, but the joy in my heart at being his friend will always be there. Hugs and condolences go out to Isadore's family everywhere.

ONE in a Million!

Thanks so much, Isadore. We all are greatly indebted to your kindness and support.

Gratitude for your big heart! Here's hoping that Boulder keeps some of the generous nature you brought to town.

My most sincere condolences to the Million family. Thank you, and thank you God, for sharing Isadore with us. He was loved and cherished, a force for good, and a charming curmudgeon. May he rest in peace now that his work is done.

You were so kind and, caring! You will be sorely missed!!! RIP Friend......

Rest in Peace Isadore. You were a very kind and good man and you will be remembered by all the people whose lives you have touched. You will be missed.

What a mighty man, whose strength will florish in all he touched.They broke the mold afer Isadore.God bless his family and world of friends.

Thanks for creating such an open and creative venue for an entire generation of vagabonds, musicians, artists and poets. Many of the bonds I made at Penny Lane are still solid and I expect will hold a whole lifetime through. Thanks, Isadore.

This photo is surreal to me. He is sitting at our favorite table and looks as he always did during those fine days, as if a photo was plucked from my memories. The closing of Penny Lane was the last gasp of "Old Boulder" as the yuppies took over. It was a place of freaks, geeks and the occasional transvestite. A place of artists, musicians and poets. One would never guess that the 'Captain' of the good ship Penny Lane was this old Jewish Geologist. His presence, is his shorts and straw hat, was a comforting juxtaposition. I remember when he was first pointed out as the owner of this favorite haunt, I thought to myself "how odd?", "how perfect"....

We were pals, spending many afternoons drinking coffee together Penny Lane. How I miss those afternoon visits. One time ,along with my 16 year old daughter, we all piled in my truck to go explore a cave we had discovered on a 4x4 trail. I learned more from him than I could have ever remembered. He was deeply respected advisor during those early days in Boulder and always he admired our bikes as we rumbled in. Thank you Isidore for your generosity, compassion and wisdom ...RIP Brother

This news just breaks my heart. Isadore, I will miss you deeply. My condolences to all who loved you. You left a tender loving mark. Merci pour tout.
