I have heard your prayers and i have seen your tears. I will heal you 2 King 20:5

Your family was like another family to me in the brief time I knew them. I will never forget how kind they were to me and how you appeared on the scene with a phenomenal sense of humor, and at least from my perspective, a quiet dignity. I was saddened to hear of your parting.

There will only be one Zeke.

Zeke was a classmate. The day of his memorial, we gathered for our 50th class reunion. We remembered him in silence. Zeke was a well known character in our KAHS. I personally didn't travel in his circle, but had a lot of respect for him. One super guy. He will be missed.

Zeke was a good man. I have many fond memories of him from Kutztown to Allentown. What a smile! We danced a jig at Cannon's bar, went to the Stonewall, and he even represented me a few times in legal matters. He will never be forgotten. Condolences to the family.

Always remember seeing him putting bird seed out for the birds, and driving someone around to do their errands.
