Richard Edward Zitzow

"For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven, a time to be born, and a time to die...'
My seasons have been completed. I enter into the spiritual realm to join my beloved wife Carol.
I served in the Navy at age 17 as a corpsman with the Marine Corps and matured from a boy to an adult. I completed college and served with the U.S.P.H.S. (Indian Health Service) for 30 years, and had a very rewarding career.
Following graduate school with a M.P.H., degree, I served as Executive Officer at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage for several years.
Family was always the main focus through out my life. I was blessed with loving children and several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Son Richard, Jr., and his children Richard, Raelynn, and Cassandra were the joy in my life these many years as I aged. In spiritual life my soul will be with them. My daughter Patricia, and her children Alexandrea and Breanna, lived distantly those many years, but were always in my heart with love and memory.
My Catholic faith in God and Jesus has always been with me throughout my life, supporting me in both good and difficult times.
My dear family, I will always be with you, be happy and lead a good life.
