So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I hope you can take some comfort in that he and your Mom are once again together. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. Your parents were both such phenomenal people. They will live on in our memories until we meet again.

Mr. Z. Was not only my teacher, but a teacher for my younger siblings. We all adored him. As an adult I was able to reconnect with him through Facebook and what a good man. I'm saddened by this loss to the world. He will never be forgotten. Thinking of his family and friends during this time.

I did not have Mr. Z for a teacher, but my younger siblings did. They spoke so highly of him I always felt a little cheated. My condolences to all his family and friends.

Mr. Z. You gave me a second chance way back in my 6th grade. You said don't make me regret letting you move to the next grade. I didn't I struggled but my great fear was that you would be sorry that you believed in me. I made all A's that year. Vickie Davis Grandmaison

When I moved to Elgin schools in 8th grade (mid-nineties) Mr. Z made me feel welcome. He was a favorite teacher of mine! Praying for his friends and family.

This sadens my heart, but know he impacted alot of us kids. Could never forget the big Z. He was the type of teacher that wasnt just a teacher but a friend and would be a parent if he needed to be... Loved mr. Z. Most of us couldnt wait till computer class in 8th grade... My heart goes out to his family! And thankyou for sharing him with all of us.
