Not sure what to say?

My Mom was a surgical nurse and always told sweet stories about him. I went to school with David (smartest kid in the class. His longest sentence assignment was so long we all said you win! Great family, neighbors and kind. I a have always admired the strength of the Zarka family sorry for your loss

One great compassionate physician and gentle man who delivered my three daughters. Love him forever

Little late but I just found out from papers I found after my mom and grandma died that Dr Zarka delivered me march 24 1980.....thank you sir rip.

I was thinking about Dr. Zarka. He was my physician when I became pregnant in 1969 at age 19 and was unwed. At that time it was not looked upon so well. He was so kind to me. I will always remember him.

Dear Dad:

It has been a year since you have been away, and I miss you very much. I just re-read the booklet we gave you for your 85th birthday, and it brought back some memories and some chuckles. You are an amazing man, Dad. And I just want to say thanks to you for everything. I will keep you in my heart, and look for the day when we will meet again.

I was so very saddened to hear of Dr Zarka's passing. He was my doctor for over 15 years. He also delivered two daughters for a close friend of mine. He was such a kind man. I can still remember the last time I saw him when I visited him as was retiring from his medical practice. I'm sending many prayers as well as condolences to all members of his family. Reading the other notes written here it's evident Dr Zarka was very loved by his family. Yes, I'm sure he probably looking after the other...

Ms.Louise, on behalf of the entire Muich Family, we send our sympathy and prayers. My father thought that Frank Zarka was the greatest thing ever and spoke of him fondly and with great memories. He will miss him greatly!!!

I was out of town when Dr. Zarka passed away and just saw a story on line. My condolences to his family. Dr. Zarka was the first gynocologist I ever went to when I was 18 (I'm 52 now). I was his patient until he retired. He was the best! So gentle, understanding and kind. You could talk to him about anything. It's a bit scary when young girls have to start getting female exams so I really appreciated Dr. Zarka's calm and understanding demeanor. His family already knows this but let me...

Dr. Frank J. Zarka is was and always will be my grandfather. It’s nice to go on this guest book and find so many nice words that describe him, while at the same time it is a bit ironic. My grandfather was a man of very few words, though the ones he spoke were always kind and genuine. He was dedicated to his work, charities, and above all his family. He was always generous with his love; I am reminded of this whenever I meet one of his old patients, or see the faces of my parents, aunts,...
