David S. Kadetz
April 18, 2011: The Izzy’s Family lost one of its own this past weekend. David S. Kadetz, 70, passed away Saturday at his home. David was the third generation owner of Izzy’s Restaurants in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. He was also the past President of Cincinnati Athletic Club.
He learned first hand from his parents, Izzy and Rose Kadetz and grandfather David Kadetz about hard work and taking care of the customers.
David took over the helm of Izzy’s in 1980, maintaining the wonderful tradition of his family to “Always be friendly to the customer, because that’s who pays your salary. “ David helped grow Izzy’s from the single store on Elm Street to the nine locations today. He is responsible for finding the current Izzy’s President, John Geisen. David noticed Mr. Geisen working as a tradesman during construction of their second store. He thought he had the personality to be a success in the business.
“Today is a sad day for Izzy’s family. David was an amazing man who worked tirelessly to continue the legend of his family. Besides his hard work, David gave generously to causes near and dear to Cincinnati’s heart. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work so closely with him,” stated John Geisen, President and CEO of Izzy’s. “He will be missed by his family and all of us who were fortunate to call him friend.”
A Visitation will be held for David Kadetz Tuesday April 19, 2011, 5pm until 8pm at Linnemann Funeral Home in Burlington, KY. A second visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 10am until 11am at Hebron Lutheran Church in Hebron, KY with the service immediately following at 11am.

“Good, quick service and delicious food. Sort of a New York deli menu with a diner feel. Famous for Reubens. Their potato pancakes are the real winner though, don't miss them! Their soups are always good too.”

“We love this place. So glad it came to Ft. Wright. My 2-yr. old loves the pickles and almost makes a meal on them alone. The reubens are great but you owe it to yourself to experiment. The Spicy Delight is awesome and worth a try. ”
