David, Paul & Jimmy,



We might have given our Father's a few gray hairs when we were young! But I am sure as you look back your Father was a man that love his sons and worked very hard to support his family the best way he knew how. Be thankful for all the advice that he shared and don't ever forget those precious moments that you had with him. As a veteran I salute your Dad for the service he gave to his country.

It's been said that "A person has to live in order to be remembered." What I remember most about Uncle Zeke was his sense of humor, a pratical joker, who made you smile. Uncle Zeke was a "Gentleman" in every sense of the word. My thoughts are with "The Motherway Family" during their times of remembering.

Someone famous said;

“The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."

Zeke Motherway lived a life worth remembering.

I have very fond memories of "Uncle Zeke.”

He was a "gentleman" in every sense of the word.

I mostly remember him as a practical joker, always making jokes; always making people laugh.



My prayers and thoughts are with

“The Motherway Family”
