When I think of Zenu (which is what his Mother called him) I picture him going past our house on his John Deere tractor, travelling between the two farms he prospered on. He was my Dad's first cousin and he was always a good guy. Will never forget him.

Dearest Nancy; Zen was one of my heroes growing up. I saw him almost every day except when he was in the Army. He always had a smile and made me laugh. Know that he has found his Peace. I have you in my prayers during this time of grief.
