I had the privledge to work with Zorian, having made several commercials for him in the early 90's. We shared some laughs and he was always curious about the industry I worked in. It turns out we had a mutural friend, my good friend Brent Boyenko. I am sad of this loss and respectfully offer my condolences.

Hello Fred: Thanks, again, for informing me of the untimely passing of Zorian. He had so much more to offer the community and his family. Eleanore and I were shocked and deeply saddened by the news. I've known Zorian, it seems, since he was a little boy, ttending weekly Sunday mass with his parents. I watched him grow into a hard working young man, devoted to his family, his heritage and his business . Courteous,kind and thoughtful, especially to and of others, is the way I shall remember him. At a time like this, words are never enough but time has a way to heal and put things into perspective. His family and friends

will remember his many fine attributes and contributions to our

society. Eleanore joins me in expressing our deepest sympathy to Linda. Since I am unable to be in Calgary due to other commitments,would you be kind enough to pass on these sentiments to Linda and their friends and family. Sincerely, Roy Romanow.

Zorian made me feel welcome and comfortable in his presence. He was always interested in whether I liked the music or had enough to eat or drink. He was the ultimate host. Thru the years he remained a true friend where the relationship remained the same. Zorian I can hear you laugh and I can feel your presence. Time stands still. Till we meet again....Simone

Linda; It is with great shock and sadness that Hazel and I have learned of Zorian's passing. You and Zorian were never far from our thoughts. Just a couple of weeks ago we cruised by the house to see if we could bump into you. Take care of yourself and hopefully we will see you in the Spring.

Linda, my dear cousin, I wish I was there to hug and hold you. I love ya so much! My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you in your time of great sorrow. To you and all those who cared so deeply for Zorian, I would like to share these words that have often comforted me:

"This world is not conclusive

A sequel stands beyond

Invisible as music

But positive as sound!"

Zorian valued family more than anything, and his true friends became his extended family.



He leaves many of us behind to mourn so that he may continue on a new journey, one that provides him with warmth, a soft bed, great food and good company and window to look upon all of us when we need to talk.



A man is not be remembered for what he did, rather for the man he was.



He was a brother to us.



Linda we are so sorry.

Linda,

There are no words to express how sorry we are to hear of Zorian's passing. He had so many friends and brightened any room he walked into. He was always smiling and will be missed by all who knew him.

Zorian was always willing to listen and to express his friendship. His humour, intelect and loving and gentle nature will be missed in this world and an asset in the next. God Bless you Linda and may God keep Zorian close.
