John Richard Zieren

I am sorry to read of Richard's death in the Oklahoma Bar Journal. I worked as his legal assistant at Unit Drilling a long time ago...but not so long ago that I don't remember his joie de vivre and lilt in his step.

Z Man,
What fun times we had at AquaSource. From the office to the rodeo. You were so fun and we praise God for your amazing journey and legacy you left here on this earth. Jason and Misty

Richard was a good friend and will be truly missed by me and my family. Richard and I worked together, played a lot of golf and went on a several fishing trips; great memories that I will always cherish. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I never had the opportunity to meet Richard, however, from what my son Jason tells me and after meeting his children and reading his obituary, it is evident he was a very special person. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this time. I pray God's blessings on each of you and that you will find peace and comfort in your treasured memories.

I am truly sorry for the passing of such a wonderful man, Father and friend. Although I only knew Mr. Zieren for a short period of time, I can truly see how great a man he was through his family and friends. My prayers go out to each of you as I know that he touched and impacted the lives of all of those who came into contact with him.

Such a sad loss..... Richard was a loving man adored by all that knew him. He will be remembered fondly for his classic one liners.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family as you grieve.

I worked and played with Richard while we were both employed at Southwestern Power Adm. Richard and I ran many miles togethear on the Riverside Running Trail. He was a great friend and spent many hours in our home where he was always welcome, even when his arrival was timed for our evening meal.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I worked with Richard at the Corps of Engineers and the Southwestern Power Administration in Tulsa. That boy made me laugh so hard at times I could not catch my breath. I will miss him.
