We are deeply saddened to inform you of the sudden passing this week of our beloved founding member of West Side Talkers Isaak Gelbinovich.
Isaak was an integral part West Side Talkers, a vibrant Toastmasters club on the Upper West Side of New York City that I had founded back in 2009. Isaak was part of our founding members.
As a professional speaker and coach, Isaak had brought great wisdom to many of our meetings that he had attended over the years.
Isaak lit up any room he had entered and brought an “infectious energy” to each of our meetings.
At our upcoming meeting on April 11th 2024 we plan to host a memorial of Isaak and celebrate the beautiful person and contribution to life that he had made.
A few days ago I had attended Isaak’s funeral and delivered a eulogy to my good friend. If you’d like to hear it the audio is below.
