Not sure what to say?

I do not remember the exact 1st time I met Mike Zehnacker or when I made the connection of who Mike was to me. I do remember what brought me to that connection, my dog. The 1st time are paths crossed Mike commented on my dog. Whenever our paths crossed from that point on, he would always say..." How´s the dog?" weather my dog was with me or not. One of those times I replied, she´s not, she passed. Eventually our family welcomed a new dog, who Mike met. Mike asked, "Why a mastiff? I...

ZENNY was truly one of the good guys. We spent a lot of time together in the early 70´s. Once he took me to see Chicago at the Capital Center! IT WAS A BLAST!! He even came down to visit us once when we lived in Gtown DE. I haven´t seen ZENNY in a few years but we would chat on the phone once or twice a year. He would do ANYTHING for you! He was always kind, generous and funny! I know I will miss him and hearing about his rides, runs or frisbee! Rest I. Peace dear old friend.

I will never forget Mike Z, which I called him. The many 5:00am runs we had from the gym Fitness First. He was always smiling and always gave me tips on running. You will be missed Mike Z, but be sure to know that you will always be a Rock Star in my book. Rest peacefully my friend! Mike Orsini

Mike will be missed by his many friends in Frederick. He made his running buddies laugh and smile every day he spent with them. The few times I jumped in with their group Mike invited me in like I was one of their regulars. He was kind, funny, caring, generous, and welcoming, what more could you ask for in a person. He was a great human and has left a lasting impression on his dear friends that they will carry with them throughout their lives. Your kindness has made a difference in this...

You'll be missed Zenny. A quote from Thomas Wilder, "It's hard to turn the page when you know someone won't be in the next chapter, but the story must continue." Fond memories of him, long ago, when he bought me, Sly and Family Stone for my confirmation.

I am sorry sorry for the family´s loss, may his memory be a blessing. Thoughts and prayers from the Robert E Peary Classmates

We knew Mike as a caring husband to our friend, Carol. In fact we were honored that they asked us to be the witnesses at their marriage many years ago.

Dear Vicki and family, Wishing you peace and comfort as you mourn the loss of your stepdad. Love, the Kufta's
