I knew Mr. Zarker, because he used to
get his hair cut at my grandpas barber
shop years ago. He was a fine gentlemen. God Bless & prayers .

I met Mr Zarker several years ago as I was walking my dog. Over the years we would see him and Matilda out and about and we would always chat. Whenever he drove by he would always stop and take the time to say hello. My condolences to his family. He was a kind and gentle soul
