It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard C. Zahneis, a loving husband, devoted father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was the pillar and rock of his family. Richard was known for his unwavering love for his family and strong work ethic. He was the proud owner of Parkway Cleaners in Camp Washington for approximately 67 years, and he poured his heart into his business, day in and day out to provide for his family.
