Today we lost one of our finest leaders. Mayor Bob Isaac was the first popularly elected mayor of Colorado Springs and served five terms before retiring. Mayor Bob was an effective leader and will be fondly remembered by many in the Colorado Springs Area.
I was privileged to meet Mayor Bob about a month ago and was impressed by the man’s extensive knowledge and memory. He was still full of stories from his days as mayor and was a real gentleman.
Bentley Rayburn, myself, and the rest of the campaign wish to express our condolences to the Isaac family. He will be missed.

on this city. He was as straight talking a politician as you could find, left office while still popular, and fought against having any city property named after him.
He was a great communicator and was effective when it was a large crowd, a few close friends , or a disgruntled citizen with an ax!
He ushered in a new era in Colorado Springs politics, and maybe now we can name the airport after him. (Maybe not, he was alway tenacious about that)
We won’t see his like again soon. More’s the pity.
