Steve and Family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your dad. We were just talking about him at our reunion. He really was a inspiration for riding his bike like he did. I remember seeing him peddling down the road a few times on his way to work when I was still living in the Heights.

Sue, I'm so very sad about your dad. He was such a kind person and shares a special place in my heart along with the rest of your family. I hope you can feel my arms around you like you comforted me so many years ago. Love to you and your family.

Mr. Zantal was my principal at Washington Elementary School in East Dayton. He played "Everything Is Beautiful" over the PA system and the kids would sing along. I received an award as a flautist at the Biltmore Hotel he accompanies me and other musicians. These are a couple of fond memories with Mr Zantal. Rest in heaven
