Charles Zacharias

Dear Zacharias Family - My deepest sympathies for your loss. Charlie and I were classmates at both St Mary of the Woods and Notre Dame High School.
I remember him as being a good friend who always cared deeply about his family. In short, he was a really good guy.
May God bless you all.

Dear Joanne & all of Charlie's family. Your Mom was so proud of Charlie. After reading his history, I can see why. Clearly I lost touch after grade school, but never forgot those who set me on the right path during my formative years. I read a daily gospel reading. It's accompanied by a prayer by one of the Holy Cross priest. Today's was perfect to capture who Charlie became.

PRAYER


Rev. Herbert Yost, C.S.C.


Dear Lord, we pray for success in our days, but keep us mindful that true success is a sincere desire to serve. To be great is to serve in those quiet opportunities when our hearts touch another´s. Bless our eyes that we may see other people´s need; bless our hearts that we may feel other people´s pain; bless our minds that your wisdom may guide our actions. Amen.

So sorry for your loss.

The "golf for food team" on the first tee at Wakonda, circa 1990´s.
Charles was our steady leader, while Dr. Allan Kaufman was sneaky good. With our handicaps
we could occasionally create fun mischief.

Charles was a wonderful partner in our medical practice, but such a gracious and patient person to
golf with. Those Saturday outings at Wakonda {and then later in Arizona} are some of my happiest memories....
