To Frank's Family:

So sorry to hear of your loss. Frank was an extraordinary man and one of my favorites at the Virginia Veterans Care Center. We both grew up in Cleveland and shared many fond memories together.

It was a privilege to know him and I hope you're filled with many warm memories to help you through this very sad time.

To my friend Josie & Family. Notably your Dad, Frank, had many noble careers, many, if not all, spanning decades! Strong-willed and sometimes outspoken, he was in one way or another a fine mentor for those of us who were but fledgeling members of the Pari-Mutuels wagering business.

Dearest Paul,Vicki,Steven,Joey,Chris,--So sorry to hear of your dad's passing, I have great memories from our Silver Spring years...What a loving father/man he was! My love and prayers to you ALL. (Mark, Elena and Raina too) Love, Jodi

It was my sincere pleasure to get to know and share briefly in life of Mr. Zalenka. I will miss his warm greeting in recognition of my presence, "Hey Fordham." ~ Heather Legere (VVCC)

I send prayers and my deepest condolences to the Zelenka family. It was a joy and a privilege to care for Mr. Zelenka. I will miss our conversations.

I truly enjoyed Frank's company. I am a Buckeye too, and that is why we had such a great friendship. I would make copies of the crossword puzzle from the newspaper and he almost always finished them. Me, not so much.I miss Frank and will remember him fondly. He was a very intelligent and interesting man.
Sincerely, Karenski

Elena, I pray all the Blessed memories of your Father and family comfort you today and always. Loretta Uzzell
