John James Iskra Obituary
We are sad to announce that on February 14, 2022 we had to say goodbye to John James Iskra of Bristol, Virginia. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was predeceased by: his mother Judy Galloway Iskra. He is survived by: his wife Elisabeth; his sons, Nathaniel Moss and Theodore Brennen; his father Deacon Joseph J. Iskra of Lake Wales, FL; and his siblings, Maria Appleton of Mount Prospect, IL, Christine Clifford of Troy, MI and Matthew Iskra of Halifax. He is also survived by three nieces and four nephews.
His two sabbaticals were spent productively, first in 2011 at Macquarie University, Sydney Australia, working on problems in Algebraic Geometry and more recently in 2019, just before the COVID-19 Pandemic began, at the Massachusetts General Hospital Research Labs of Harvard University in Boston, MA developing mathematical algorithms for application to cancer diagnosis.
