To the Taft family; I have known and appreciated Zandy's knowledge, humor and also (occasional) curmudgeon act for nearly 50 years. We travelled together often when he was on the staff of Governor Peterson. He was a good and loyal friend to all.

I'd recognize Zandy's face anywhere! I worked with Zandy at BC/BS from 1982-1988 in the claims dept. & F.E.P. dept. He ALWAYS had a smile on his face and usually had a story that would bring a smile to our faces! My sincere sympathy to his family and loved ones. May all your memories carry you thru this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry for your loss Eileen and am grateful that 'Uncle Bob' is close by. I knew Zandy briefly and enjoyed his participation with his grandchildren. May God bless and take care of you.

Eileen, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I learned so much from Zandy, as I said before he was my mentor. I feel privileged to have know this man. He certainly will be missed. Joan Cornell Naples, Florida

Dear Eileen and the Taft family,
We are sorrowed to learn of Zandy's passing, though his spirit, energy and wry humor will remain always in our memories.
It was an honor to have worked with Zandy from whom I learned a great deal. I valued his insight, energy and compassion. He was in the class of senior states people that included Hugh Gregg, Walter Peterson and George Hamilton who sought to make NH a better place to live and raise a family.
While he will be...
