Dearest Zak. On Monday, it was 21 years since you were laid to rest. Over the years, your father and I visited your grave often and your dad would always weep. I felt his pain because I loved him with all of my heart but not because I understood his grief completely. Now I do. It will be six months tomorrow since he left us to be with you. I am glad that you are together. I am heartbroken that he is gone. Your brother and I are lost without him. He was our everything. I love you both

Happy Birthday, Zak. I know your father would want me to post today. I’m heartbroken that he’s not with me anymore, but I’m glad that he’s finally with you. He loved both you and your brother with all of his heart. I’m so blessed to have been a part of his life. God bless you both.

My Dearest Zak, it is now 20 years since you left us to be with your God. We still miss you, your smile and your sense of humor.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my son. Another holiday season is going by with you not here. It seems that as the years go by, I still cannot get used to not having you here. The hole in my heart never closes and rather than healing, I am just getting used to living with the emptiness and the pain.
The only consolation that I have is that I know that you completed your tasks here on earth and that "He That Is" called you back to be with Him and that you now exist in total happiness and bliss, no longer in pain.
This year, Joanie and I spent Christmas Eve at Adam's and Melinda's home and Christmas Day at Heather's home. We had a wonderful time enjoying the great food and wonderful company. You were in my thoughts the entire two days. I love you.
I will love you and your brother no matter where you both are and no matter where I am; I will always love you both as long as God leaves essence in my being.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my son.....always.

It is now fourteen years since you left us to be with Him That Is. I still cry because missing you is more than I can bear. I am consoled, however, by the memories of your brother Adam lovingly caring for you. I remember that you didn't want anyone but Adam to take care of you. I saw the love that you and your brother had for each other.
I also remember all of your many friends coming to visit you. I can remember coming to see you after work as you visited with those friends and was awestruck as you laughed and shared memories of the experiences that you had with each friend. It was as if you wanted the last memories of you with them to be memories of happiness and laughter rather than those of sadness and tears. As I listened to you and your friends reminisce, I could picture myself being there with you and them smiling and laughing.
I will always love you and your brother no matter where I am and no matter where you both are. I will love you both as long as God leaves essence in my being.

My Dearest Son,
Merry Christmas. I miss you now more than ever, but I wouldn't call you back for one moment, even if I could, because I know that you are now with Him that is, in the light of His face and His love.
I will always love you and your brother no matter where you both are and no matter where I am. I will always love you both as long as God leaves essence in my being.

My Dearest Son,
It is now 13 years since you left us and were called back home by Him That Is. If I allow the grief and sorrow that are welled up within me to rise to the surface, I will surely drown in my own tears; however, my belief that you are with your maker because you completed all of the tasks that He wished you to complete here, fills my heart with joy and hope....the hope that I will once again see you.
God blessed me with two beautiful sons, I will love you both no matter where you both are and no matter where I am. I will love you both as long as God leaves essence in my being.

"To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace. And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon the shore, gazing at the beautiful sea, remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty forest, and in its grand majesty, remember me.
Remember me in your hearts, in your thoughts, and the memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the battle we fought and the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone."

Merry Christmas.

My Dearest Son,
Columbus Day is approaching and my thoughts take me back to the Columbus Day weekend right after 9/11, when I went out to LA to visit with you. It was right after you began to feel discomfort and had gone to a doctor, who diagnosed you with constipation. Little did we know that this was the beginning of your struggle with cancer.
Everyone was concerned about flying after 9/11, but I was happy to be able to visit you. As usual, we had a wonderful time, sharing many very precious moments, though at the time, I did not realize how precious these moments were.
This Columbus Day will be quiet, but I will have the time to reflect on all of the precious moments that I have had with you and your brother. All of these moments make the fabric of my life fuller and richer and I am most proud of the two greatest accomplishments I have had in my life.
I will always love you and your brother, no matter where I am, and no matter where you both are. I will always love you both as long as God leaves essence in my being.

My Dearest Son,
Life is a journey and when there is Love, the journey is worthwhile. Your life was all about Love, and even though it was too short, your life was and will always be very precious to all who knew you. You left us ten years ago to be with Him That Is and our hearts still ache.
We love you and will always love you, no matter where you are and no matter where we are. We will love you as long as God leaves essence in our beings.
Love,

My Dearest Son,
It's Father's Day once again, but this time, only one son is here. Ten years ago, you were both here and it was a very bitter sweet day....joyous because I was with my two very precious sons...but sad because you were suffering the pains of the cancer that was slowly draining you of life.
You carefully prepared the meatball mix, but struggled to roll it into the round shapes, so I had you rest and I finished the process. My heart was exploding with the happiness of being with the two best things that I have ever done in my life; and with the sorrow and heartbrake of seeing you slowly fade away.
Today, your brother is cooking for me and we'll have a great day and enjoy a wonderful meal, however, while you are not here in body, your spirit lives on in our hearts.
We Love you.

Hey Kid,
Some random web surfing led me to Scotty, then Nick, then here on a rainy Boston Saturday morning. I was at Fenway watching the Sox beat the Yanks a couple weeks ago and was thinking how it was too bad we lived in LA back then and couldn't go to any of those match ups together. Then I thought it was probably better we DIDN'T go to any of those together... It could have gotten ugly. :) Hope you're making some great music up there! Miss you and thinking of you,

I thank God for the love, the joy, the happiness and the most wonderful memories that He gave me because he brought you and your brother into my life. Of all of the things that I have accomplished in my life, you and your brother are the best and greatest.
I will love you forever, my son. I will love you no matter where you are and no matter where I am. I will love you as long as God leaves essence in my being.

My Dearest Son,
Happy Valentine's Day! You are always in my thoughts and prayers. You've been on my mind more than usual lately. I think that this is part of the aging process. I believe that as one gets older, one tends to reminisce a lot more. I've been thinking of you and many of the prescious things that you did as your were growing up. I know that there were certain things that you did that you found embarassing and hated it when I reminded you about them. I hope that you know that I was not making fun of you, but merely remembetring all that you did as part of my loving memories of you. Unfortunately, you will never have the chance to see a parent/child relationship from my point of view.....that of a father who lovingly views everyting that his child does as wonderful and prescious. All of the these things that you did, made you.... so Zak!
This "little man" loves you, my son, and he will always love you, no matter where you are and no matter where he is; he will love you as long as God leaves essence in his being.

Merry Christmas my son! It's now almost seven years and five months since you left us. The hole in my heart has not healed and the pain is still there. I miss you now more than ever. The holidays are very difficult as it is the time of year that my thoughts turn to my family... and that includes you.
I long to hug you and to tell you how much I love you and your brother and how proud I will always be of the both of you.
I will love you both always, no matter where you both are and no matter where I am. I will love you both as long as God leaves essence in my being.

That's what I loved about our friendship...the laughs and the love.
Just put my daughter to bed and I long for her to have been able to meet her "Uncle" Zak. She would love you as much as I always have!

Happy Birthday, my son. Thirty-one years ago today, we were blessed with the second of two beautiful sons, each one very special in his own way. We could not know that in a very short twenty-four years, you would leave us to go back to your Creator.
Each of us has his or her own path to take through this wonderous journey that we call life and I believe that we all have certain things that we must accomplish before we leave it. I also believe that how we live our lives and how we touch the lives of those with whom we come into contact as we pass through life, creates the richness and depth in the fabric of our lives.
I believe that you accomplished all that was expected of you in your brief twenty-four years here with us. I know that as you lived your life, you touched everyone whom you met with your beautiful spirit, your affable smile and your zest for life. As a result, the fabric of your life was full and rich and deep like the finest silks and cashmere cloths.
I miss you my angel, each day more than the day before, but I take comfort in knowing that you are in a better place, a place full of love and happiness. I thank God every day for giving me the time that I had with you in my life, just as I thank God every day for giving me the time that your brother is in my life. You and he are the greatest accomplishments of my life....two beautiful spirits who coninuously enrich the fabric of my life.
I love you my son and will always love you, no matter where you are and no matter where I am. I will love you as long as God leaves essence in my being.
Love,
Pa

It's been a long time since I've written anything in here, but Zak has been on my mind quite often...especially last night and today. I am glad to see that this guest book is still here. I miss Zak's genuineness, sense of humor, and wonderful smile.
Mr T., you've remained so strong, having endured what no parent should have to go thru. I wish my Dad had been able to be as strong as you have been. We buried him almost 4 years ago--a year and 5 months after the death of my oldest brother. You are amazing. May God continue to bless and keep you.

My dearest son,
Merry Christmas! At this time of year when we remember the birth of our Lord, you are also on my mind. Not that you are not always on my mind, but you are on my mind even more so at this time of year. I miss you so much. The emptiness never leaves.
God blessed me with a wonderful life, but His biggest blessing of all was you and your brother.
When my time is up in this world, I want everyone to celebrate my two biggest accomplishments. I wish everyone to remember me forever as the father of Adam and Zachary.
I love you my son and I will always love you, no matter where you are and no matter where I am. I will love you as long as God leaves essence in my being.

Hey brother,
Been a while since I've said hi but always thinking about you. Wish you were here this weekend. Had one of the best times since I've been out here. I don't think it's any surprise too that I was hanging out with the friends you made at Syracuse who have become such good friends of mine. You obviously touched so many lives and helped to guide quite a few of us without even realizing it, especially out here to California. And by the way I just joined SAG 2 months ago. I hope to inspire people the way you inspired me.
Love always,
Richard

Hi, Zak. You are still in my heart and prayers. I remember all the great times we had together, and your spirit is with me. I've kept my promise to you, and I think you would be proud. But I think you already know that, because I still feel you around me.
Hi, Mr. T! It's been a while since we have talked, how is everything? I'm doing well here in Brooklyn. Would love to catch up soon. Miss you.

I planted some flowers in Zak's marker for memorial day, I hope it was okay- I was just going to leave them but there was a big enough space in the planter for them.

Dear Zak,
I think of you all of the time. I can't believe how my life has changed and you would be so proud! I just had a baby girl on April 30th and you would adore her. I tell her all about you and God do I wish you could meet her. I miss you so much. Friday was your 30th birthday and I would have loved to see how you handled that because I had such a hard time with mine in February! I can just imagine the class you would have had "getting older". I just wish you had the chance. I love you so much and that will never change. My daughter's name is Kiley Louise. If it was a boy it was going to be Jason Zachary. Just thought I would tell you that too. I miss you more than I could ever explain to anyone and think everyday of what you would tell me to do with my life. By the way, I'm not working either job right now, I know you would be shocked to hear that! I love you!

I love you and miss you so much. Thirty years ago, God blessed me with a second beautiful son, both of whom have brought happiness and joy into my life. I will always love you, no matter where you are and no matter where I am. I will love you as long as God leaves essence in my being.

My dearest Son,
Merry Christmas! This year went by like a blurr as there was never enough time to do all that had to be done. It seems that as I get older, time goes by more quickly. In spite of this, you are always in my heart, in my mind and in my thoughts. I will always remember your great sense of humor...calling me from LA late at night...after you'd had one too many..."Ey Paulie...howyadoin?"...to which I'd reply..."Ey Vinnie...you crazy fool!" or when you and your brother would come into the house, both towering over me and pat me on the head and you both would say..."Hey little man!"
As I look back on my life and what I have done, I know that my greatest accomplishments will always be that of being a father to you and your brother.
I love you, my son, and I will always love you. I will love you as long as God leaves essence in my being!

My dearest Son,
Merry Christmas! This holiday season has been a blur as there just doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything that needs doing. It seems that as I get older, time passes more quickly. But as each day passes, I always have time for you. You are still always in my mind and in my thoughts and in my heart. I often think about your sense of humor....calling me from LA, having had at least one too many..."ey Paulie...hayadoin?"...to which I would reply..."ey, Vinnie...you crazy fool!" or when you and your brother would come in the front door...both towering over me...patting me on the head and saying..."hello little man!"
You and your brother will always be the center of my heart. I am so proud of you both. As I look at my life and the things that I've accomplished, I know that my greatest accomplishment will always be that of being father to you and your brother.
I love you, my son. I will always love you, no matter where I am and no matter where you are. I will love you as long as God leaves essence in my being.

It's been five years.
"Where are you?" we cry.
Our eyes strain to see you!
Our arms ache to hug you!
Our legs run to find you!
Our hearts reply, "here he is....forever!"
I will always love you, my son, no matter where I am, and no matter where you are.
I will love you, my son, as long as God leaves essence in my being!
Love,
Pa
