Zach and I started work at ITT on the same day back in 2003, but I only got to work closely with him in my last year at L3Harris in 2018. Zach was always so cheerful and friendly, and I'm thankful I got that chance to get to know him. I'm so sorry for the loss of Zach, and I pray for comfort and strength for his family.

Zach volunteered his time to tutor a student through the L3Harris Study Connection group. Last year he tutored as a substitute and was needed every session. This year he was a full time tutor. All the children loved him and his creative ways of teaching. You will be missed by many. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around his family as they navigate this difficult time. ~ Cathy Vincent
