So glad he was always willing to drive all us kids to camp retreats and sleep in his basement for his daughter Kim's birthday. He was an awesome father figure for those of us who didn't think we had one at our own house. You are missed...but also a treasured memory.

Many memories of Zeke while serving together in USAF, was at the wedding of Jim and Karen so many years ago. We all looked so good in our Air Force blues. Looked forward each year to catching up on the family, and so sad we never got to reconnect. God bless your family at this time. Sorry i'm not able to be there with you'll. Love Ron
