Not sure what to say?





While writing for Brief magazine, he accompanied my cousin, Lt. Stanley S. Spatz also of Far Rockaway, on a mission in March of 1945. Sadly, Stanley was KIA on May 5th, 1945. Stanley was quite excited about the article per a letter he wrote to his parents.

I had the pleasure of working for Zander as a college undergrad in the late 1960's. He was just a genuinely nice person and a great boss. I'm sorry we lost touch over the intervening decades.

He was a special person, a mentor, a devoted family man and my champion professionally -- and he will be missed by the many people who were touched by his kindness and his soft heart. Carry on, indeed
