David Zeckser

Mr Zeckser was my Eighth Grade social studies teacher. He was a very positive force in my learning. I had a great love for history and government. Also what a kind and caring and wonderful person he was. The year was 64/65. Manhattan Junior High. God bless David and God bless all of your family. Jack Ryan

Dave was such a genuine human being and talented educator. He was a positive force in the life of so many people. My life is richer for having known him.

So sorry to hear of Dave Zeckser passing. I was a fraternity brother from K State and remember him well with his quick wit and ready smile. My best to his family

I just learned of Dave's passing this week. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in your loss. His career and mine overlapped for many years at APS, and words cannot adequately express what a supportive, altruistic, talented colleague he was. Dave Wood

We, the Class of 1956, will deeply miss our...

Dear Mrs. Zeckser,

It was a shock to hear about David's passing. I have many wonderful memories of him teasing and joking around with us when we had cheerleading practice in your backyard. What support and genuine caring each of us felt from the two of you.

Please know I am sending comfort, love and strength to you and your family.

Love ALWAYS,
Beth Arnold

Love,
