JOSEPH PATRICK ZAHRAN

Joe was a regular customer at Tex & Shirley's for as long as I can remember. I always enjoyed talking to him. He was a great guy.

He was always a kind and gentle person. I enjoyed working with him in the IRS. Semper Fi Joseph.

Always helpful, always kind, always a gentleman. We miss you Joe.

We are so sorry about Joe. Mom, ( Era Fogleman) will miss him so much at Blumenthal's. She thinks the world of you both. May you find peace in knowing he is in a far better place.

Mr. Zahran was my scoutmaster and the father of my good friend "Joey." He was one of the people who really did have an impact on me growing up. He always saw the best in everyone and made you feel good about who you were. His kind, gentle, humor and encouraging spirit must have been built upon strong spiritual discipline and courage. He told great stories around campfires. He really did make me want to be a better person. My deep sympathy and best wishes to Joey and the family.

It seems like he lived forever. Always in good spirits and in great health. He was an example of how to live your life. We are thinking about all of you and we will miss him.

OUR SYMPATHY IS WITH YOU IN THE LOSS OF THIS NICE MAN. HE VISITED OUR HOME WITH BILL SHACKLETON IN 1966 IN ATLANTA GEORGIA.AS A RETIREE FROM IRS . MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AS I MOURN THE LOSS OF A CO-WORKER FROM IRS. MAY GOD BLESS THE FAMILY.

I have known few people so widely loved and respected as Joe Zahran. He certainly had mine. My condolences to his family and all his friends.

A truly kind and wonderful man with a great family who will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our sympathy to Joe, Jay Gina, Sally and the rest of the family!

So sorry to read of your dad's passing. Charlene became my best friend at OLG and I remember your Dad as the sweetest man. Praying for your entire family.

Dear Gina, Joe and Jay....so very sorry to see this today. I feel so lucky to have known "Pop" and have wonderful memories of all of the great gatherings at Joe's. What a wonderful man who will be missed by many who knew and loved him. Much love to all of you and the entire family. Tammy Brown Bode

My Dad called me to tell me that his Best Friend has passed away. He always called him Pineapple. That had been best friends since being college room mates at Carolina. I'm not sure what this was about, but I'm sure there's a good story there. Joe has always been a part of our family. We will miss him dearly.

Not often did I see a father at his (grown) child's party and fit right in. But Mr. Zahran did and had a ball! Always a warm smile to greet me, fun-loving spirit, and such a sweet man who was so so proud of his children. And a heck of a tennis player. Hugs to all of you.

Thinking of you all with a heavy heart but happy knowing uncle joe is now at perfect peace with Jesus. Wish I could be there for the service but know you all are in my heart.

One of the sweetest Dads I ever knew. What a blessing he was! Always a wondeful smile and spirit. What a gift he was and I know you will miss him everyday. My thoughts and prayers with you. I'm so sorry.

My condolences on your loss. My thoughts are with your family.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. My deep Fayetteville roots include the Zahran/Monsour clan. Our most vivid memories of Joe always included his buddy, Nick Bartis whether it was at Dr. Nick's office or out for coffee. Joe always had a hug and smile for me. May his memory be eternal in your hearts.
Most Sincerely,
Hedy (Vurnakes) and Jim Thevaos
