Fred and Martha were our next door neighbors when we first moved to Gilbert. What a wonderful couple!! They will forever hold fond memories for myself and kids. We would always look forward to his Christmas cards which would display his hand drawn picture and one of his many talents. Our lives are much better for knowing them. Love, Laurel, Haley and Bryce Miller

Our family has been blessed by knowing Fred and his sweet wife Martha. We have had the privilege of being his next door neighbor for the past six years. My kids considered him like a "grandpa". He would always take time to ask about each one of them. I already miss his outside light shining in our window each night. Our thoughts and prayers are with his two sons and family.

I am sorry to hear about Fred's passing. I got to know him , just as he was retiring from Daniels and Zermack. I continued to work for the firm for many years afterwards. He always inspired the staff and his enthusism, leadership and caring were always spoken about and remembered at the firm. What a wonderful life he lived! He will always be remembered.

Fred was our next door neighbor in Ann Arbor, MI for 13 years in the 60s & 70s. He was a great guy and a friend to everyone. He was especially kind to the kids in the neighborhood. It was a pleasure to have known him and his dear wife Martha. We looked forward every year to receive one of his hand drawn Xmas cards. Peter and Zorene Kussurelis

Fred is a great example to all of us of how a man can live a life full of love and inspiration for those around him. It was my privilege to have Fred in my extended family for many years, and through his life he revealed for many of us a template of how to live a life worth living and remembering.
Fred was a true gentleman, and shared unlimited love and support for those around him. He always treated my family as if it were his own, and through his kindness and wisdom I hope I have grown as a husband and father.
God bless you Fred Zrmack. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

It has been our privilege and pleasure to be part of Fred and Martha's extended family for more than 20 years, and we thank his children and grandchildren for sharing them with us.
Fred had an infectious enthusiasm and zest for life, and a wonderfully positive outlook. When Fred took on a task there was no question that it would be completed to perfection. He never did things halfway, and surely this was a key to his success. Fred embraced, nurtured, and genuinely cared about others, always with a love of God and family above all. It's a special blessing that he was able to meet and hold his new great granddaughter, Callie, before he passed.
We have been deeply touched by the love both Fred and Martha showed our family, and especially to our son, and I can assure you the feeling was mutual. Although we have cried more than a few tears, we also smile at the thought of Fred and Martha together again. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss, and know that we are honoring Fred with a donation, made in his memory, to the American Heart Association. A good and special man is gone, but not forgotten.
With Love,
Keith, Kyle and Nick Davis

Our family was all so saddened to hear of Fred's passing, because he and Martha always included us as part of the family. I've seldom met a finer man. My dad died when I was 21, but I knew Fred as a kind of second dad for 42 years. Mark and Lisa and their families are staunch Michigan fans because of Fred and Martha, as are Emilie and Michael. But more than that, they were one of the finest examples of a God-pleasing marriage we have ever seen. Both Fred and Martha called me their #3 son, and that was the highest honor someone could have given me. Fred's talent, energy, and kindness will never be forgotten. We were blessed to visit with him last June. May God fold His loving arms around you all, just as He has Fred and Martha in His. God Bless!
Ren and Kathy Frank, Mark and Lisa and families, Emilie and Michael.

Sorry to hear about Fred's passing. He was a wonderful man. I did not have the pleasure of working for him at Daniels and Zermack, but he still considered us newer employees part of his large family. The man knew how to live life and how to give back! I will miss the wonderful Christmas cards that he sent every year.
