I met and worked with Zak in 1973 when we were both with Midwest Aluminum. I cherish the friendship we developed and enjoyed for a good number of years post-Midwest. Playing golf or fishing was always a pleasure with Zak.

I will remember and be grateful for having known him. May God bless and hold him close.

I`ve known Zak since childhood, first as a friend of my father Bill through the aluminum industry and on thuough my teen years then into adulthood.

We had so much in common, Zak my father and myself, hunting, fishing, golf and our working careers.

I have never known such loyalty from a friendship with anyone than I shared with Zak.

He was always there with his kindness in word and actions along with his infectious laugh.

I know how Pete and Julie felt about their father because Zak took on another son when my father Bill past on a number of years ago.

So here`s to all of our everlasting memories of fish, pheasants and golf.

I have been fortunate far beyond what I ever deserved in this life to have you and Bill truly be my heroes.

All of my love to Pete, Julie and Nancy.

Eddie
