Tombstone, Jewish cemetery of Oleszyce (Halshitz), Lubaczów county, Poland — please read the father's name.

A man who died 22 Heshvan 5691 (13 Nov 1930). What we read:
נפטר כ״ב לחודש חשון תרצ״א / איש תם וישר הלך בדרך תמים מתפרנס מיגיע כפו ביושר / ה״ה מוה׳ יצחק בן מוה׳ אברהם [...]

The father's line (bottom of the stone; enlarged on the right of the image) is worn. Which word follows אברהם? We wonder about פישל, הירש or אביש. A full transcription and translation would also be very welcome.
