My condolences to and prayers for the Zarate family. As a friend from the 1966 Righetti High School graduating class, Chris and I were seldom able to see each other as I live in Virginia. When I was able to attend reunions we would always reconnect. Will miss that greatly. Rest in peace my friend.

Mr. Zarate was my Guidance Counselor at AHC. He helped me navigate a myriad of curriculum when I was a new student, and when I re-entered college after a 6 year absence. RIP, sir! You helped many, like me, prepare for a rewarding career. You made a difference.

RIP my friend. You will be remembered by your colleagues at AHC and all those students you helped. You will always be remembered by those that shared your love of golf and the family you left behind. My prayers to all.
