Obituary: Isidoro Palatchi

Isidoro Palatchi, 94, of Atlanta, passed away Dec. 25, 2020. Isidoro was a pillar of strength. Bringing his young family to the Unites States as a Cuban immigrant in 1960, he was a man of great strength and courage, working tirelessly to support his family. Isidoro was a teacher, artist, mentor and best friend to many. Known as “Sid” by many, his vibrant personality and brilliant smile made it easy to be his friend. He was a man devoted to his faith and instilled those beliefs into his children.

He is survived by his son Mark Palatchi(Lori); daughters Vicky Oquendo and Estrella Teilhaber(Dean); and sister Rebecca Behar.

He was blessed with eight grandchildren Jared, Travis, Daniel, Michael, Erica, Gabby, Dylan and Raffi and a great granddaughter Addison. He was a blessing to us all and all who came in contact with him are blessed by having met him. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

A graveside service was held for immediate family Dec. 27 at Greenwood Cemetery. Arrangements by Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care, 770-451-4999.
