Ernest Zam Obituary
Ernest Nicholas Zam, age 84, of Oregon passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Friday, April 16, 2021. Ernest was born to Nicholas and Verna (Mitro) Zam on March 8, 1937, in Toledo, Ohio. He was a 1955 graduate of Macomber High School. He owned Zam Manufacturing machine shop until his retirement. He was a longtime member of RC Flyers Club and Lyman Boat Owners Association. He was a talented woodworker who spent his spare time building model boats and planes, as well as furniture, clocks, and anything else that he thought was a challenge or his family requested. He was an avid University of Michigan fan and loved watching football and basketball. Anyone who knew him appreciated his wonderful sense of humor, as he always enjoyed making everyone laugh.
