Ozzie was a speech Pathologist on staff at 3 hospitals for over 26 years. He also had a private practice. He helped many people through the years and never met a stranger.

After he retired he substituted for the Chandler School District mostly at San Tan Junior High, his favorite. The students and teachers loved their "Mr Z". The students would greet him no matter where he went and love to talk to him.

It has been many years since Mr. Z walked through our halls at Santan Jr. High, but he has been thought about dozens, and dozens, and dozens of times since!

He made a difference. He made the world a better place. There is NO higher compliment that can be said of a person.

Thank you for YOU, Mr. Z!
