Mr. Zane Wise was a gentlemen, professional, and a great friend to me and my family. He took me, a young engineer, under his wing and I treasure the years that we worked together. He was truly one of a kind and I will never forget him and all that he did for me during my career. Our prayers are with the Wise Family.

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Zane when he did consulting work at the Engineering company I work for. I had also worked with his daughter, Connie, at Bell South. He was truly a wonderful man. So kind, always a gentleman, loved his family dearly and became a good friend to me. He will be missed by many and remembered by all who had to opportunity to know him.
