Mr. Z was truly one of the best at Maryvale. He was the Asst. Principal when I was there and he was always so kind with an amazing sense of humor. As an English teacher, he would not be pleased with "principle" being used in his death notice. That surely would get some red ink along with some wisdom imparted. RIP Mr. Z you will be remembered fondly by all who knew you.

Fondly recalling Mike from Maryvale times, he was dedicated, hard working, professional, most of all a great friend to so many, always with students and staff the priority. Thinking back to his devoted efforts, he will always be alive in our hearts.

My sympathy to your family who have lost a truly good man.When my husband was ill , Mike would take him to the breakfast gatherings for retired Maryvale teachers which meant so much to Bob. He was a true gentleman in so many ways. Kathy Heffern
