Isidore came to Chino from Irissarry, France in 1961. He worked as a milker for many years but he and his wife, Marie Claire would eventually buy and manage a motel in Riverside.  Isidore was a dedicated husband and father. They would have five children and eventually 11 grandchildren. Most important to us, Isidore was the pillar of our Basque community. He became a member of the Chino Basque Club in 1976 and worked tirelessly ever since. He was instrumental in making sure we had a club house and was our main chef. Isidore was elected to the Board numerous times and along with his wife, Marie Claire, was the recipient of the Bizi Emankorra award. We shall miss his quiet, charming ways as well as his work ethic. Isidore has been an inspiration to us all. Our most sincere sympathies to Marie Claire, Frank, Alain, Patrick, Dominique, Louise and their families.
