Robert and I were blessed to have Uncle Zean in our lives and we will truly miss him. He was so much fun to be around. I'll never forget him taking me to a "real" Italian restaurant and explaining all the dishes to me. Much love to Janet, Ellie, and Paul and your families.

Zean: You were a fabulous cook. You were a dear friend to me at Banfill Crossing. You sure did keep those old "cranks" in the great room in their place. I loved your charming demeanor in letting them know that gossip is not acceptable. Rest in peace and thank you for our friendship.

Zean--a good man, husband, father, and patriot. A part of the "greatest generation". He and Sis(Ellen) had many good years together. He leaves his family with many good memories. Allece

I had the honor of meeting Zean when I was a young boy. I wish I would have had the opportunity to know him better. However, I know he is a great man and wish all the family the very best of memories.

There will never be another Zean

There will be a empty chair at the poker table and nobody can take his place. There will never be another Zean. Zean will be missed by one and all.
