ALEXANDER "ALEX" ZYCH

I worked for Al Zych in the clubhouse of the Kansas City Royals during spring training in Fort Myers, Florida, for four seasons, 1969-1972. Al was a kind and caring man who was thoughtful and generous. He was very kind to me and played a pivotal role in the successes I enjoyed later in life working with my father in the real estate appraisal business. The Kansas City Royals clubhouse was a magical place. My best to the family and hope that each of you are well and doing fine.

As another anniversary of Al's death approaches, I know the freshness of grief will overwhelm you for a time. Al was such a fine man and I know you miss him. I still remember how patient he was with Scott and Brian at spring training. I always sat in the sun close to the runway to the dugout so hopefully I could monitor the boys behavior. Al told me to go sit in the shade but most of the time I stayed put. He never put them out of the clubhouse--surprisingly. Am sure he wanted to on...

Joyce, John ,and entire Zych family, C.C. and I were so sorry to learn of your father's death. You are in our prayers. What fond memories you all have been left with. We are sorry we were not in town when this happened and just heard of his accident. God Bless him and keep him and may he rest in peace.

A tremendous loss for the Zych family. Al was a fun loving and generous man. He gave so much to all of us and his sense of humor was one of his best traits.
For Matt, my condolences my friend and when I'm back in town I'll be sure to come by and see you, it's been too long.
Take care and God bless all of you.

Matt, Pat, Joyce and John;
I can only add my heartfelt condolences to the long list of people Alex touched. Memories; of course with Jackie in the office; tickets for the Mike and Paul to the world series championship game!,refereeing with Paul on the bench. I think they are again overseeing us all...

Al was a true gentleman and a very respectable man. He made me feel a part of the team during my childhood days as a bat boy for the Royals at spring training in 1984-85. Would have never thought that would be a World Series winning year. I have met almost all of the Zych family and all of them carry his class and style. I wish all of you my condolences. Al was a blessed man, an exceptional athlete, and most of all a great man of character...you have a lot to be proud of.
God Bless...

John & Joyce,
My sincere condolences for your loss. Alex was so kind and generous to my boys Scott & Brian when we used to go to spring training in Ft. Myers. I remember the first time he let them in the clubhouse. Scott came out so excited saying, "Mom, Al said we could have whatever we wanted and there are cases and cases of gum and chewing tobacco". I made it clear that Mom rules what they could help themselves to. He was so patient with them and one day set it up for Scott to be bat...

Joyce and John...out of town and just learned of your loss. What a great man and a legacy for all of us who were touched by his accomplishments. God bless your family.

Joyce and John- Mr. Zych was a wonderful gentleman. I know that you will all miss him greatly. Love to you and to the whole family! Joe and Debbie Herron McArdle
