Uncle Bill was such a kind and wonderful man. I especially enjoyed our conversations about nothing and everything. I got a kick out of him referring to me as Zack # 3. He always promised he would make the trip to SC to see me but we ran out of time before we could make that happen. He will be sorely missed by all of us that knew him. Love and God Bless YOU Uncle Bill. Jimmy (#3) Zack

Dear Donna, I am sorry to hear of your dads passing. I've known him for a long time and always enjoyed his company as he was a fun person to be around. And if it weren't for him I never would have met you and Gregg. Take care.

Donna and Linda - I was sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was always so full of life. You may not remember me, I am Paul and Mella McGann's daughter. My parents met while my dad was living with the Zacharias' on Natchez St. We have fond memories of your dad and the whole Zacharias family.

Donna and Linda:
Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your father. Bill was near retirement when I was a young teacher in Pittsburgh, and we became friends. He was very encouraging and I always loved being in his company.
I loved viewing the photos you posted... every one!
May your memories of your dad keep him close in mind and heart.
