JOSEPH J. "Ferk" ZGONC

My sympathies go out the his beloved family. Although I never personally met him, I met the product of Mr. Zgonc and his wife, his wonderful daughter JoAnn and her lovely family. I couldn't have been more blessed to have them a part of my life. She shared many stories of her dad and always spoke of him with admiration and pride. Although our father has called him home, he leaves his memory as a gift.

Judy, please accept my prayers and condolences for the repose of your father Joe.

Judy and family, my prayers and thoughts are with you.

My prayers go out to your lovely family at this sad time. I met your dad when I worked with your mom and Rose Petric many years ago at Empire Life Insurance Company. I was just out of high school. Your parents were great people and your mom was a terrific lady to work with. We shared many wonderful fun times during the working day. I truly looked up to your mom and Rose. I am sure you do not remember me but I met you gals several times back in the day. If I remember correctly, you lived on...

I love this man even though I never met him personally. JoAnn, you showed us his kind heart, joyous spirit and love of family through your actions and the beloved stories. Thank you for sharing him with so many. Love and prayers to you and your entire family. Joan

I was terribly saddened to learn of Mr. Zgonc's passing. The family were our neighbors on Parkgrove Avenue in Cleveland. Mr. Zgonc always had a ready smile and funny story to tell. My father was an accordionist as well as Mr. Zgonc, and it was fun to listen to the echoes of polka music (is there any other kind for a Slovenian?) from his house and ours. My sincere condolences to the family upon his passing. He was a kind, gentle man. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you all in...
