Dear Mrs. Zayac & Family,
I worked for Mr. Zayac at the Cleveland Arena in 1969 for just a short while. I was his Executive Secretary. He was a great boss and a wonderful human being. I just wanted to extend to you and your family my deepest sympathies.
Sincerely,

Steve was such a good man. We will always remember working with him, and Betty, too, to get the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland up and running. His determination, vision and spirit reflected his wonderful personality. He will be missed. He leaves a legacy to be admired! Our thoughts and love are with the Zayac Family.

I was Wendy's doctor and became close to the Zayac family. Steve was a wonderful friend.

I worked with Steve many years ago. I fondly recall a visit we and some other employees of the City of Lakewood made to Steve's parents home in the mountains of northwestern Pennsylvania and afterwards spending a few days at Mayor Frank Celeste's cabin in the same area. I extend my most sincere sympathy to Steve's familly.

You can love me most by letting hands touch hands, By letting bodies touch bodies, And by letting...
