Mr. Z,
You were my 7th grade Math teacher and wow, did we have a good time in that class while also learning so much. I really did learn a lot from you and thanks for always giving me those penalties. I always had a loud mouth and definitely deserved it. You were one of my absolute favorites and one of those teachers you'll never forget. Thinking of you and your family in this hard time.

I have been thinking about you every day. I will forever remember discussing the Pythagorian Theorom, ways to improve our golf games, my daughter's latest escaspades, and just life in general. You were the greatest of friends, and I miss you dearly. Lee Elzey

My condolences goes out to the entire Zielinski family. I like so many others had the pleasure of having Mr. Z as a wonderful math teacher. Because of him, he made it very easy for me to understand math in so many ways. You will truly be missed "Zesus". God Bless

Hey Mr. Z, it has been many years since I last saw you but you were a great math teacher and a funny man. I enjoyed your class and joking around with you. You always made me smile lol. You will be missed. You are with God now and at peace.

Gone way too soon! Ron and I shared our Polish heritage and a love of politics. He was always the first one to open his wallet and generously contribute to whatever charitable endeavor we were fundraising for at Bowsher. Ron's huge personality filled the room when he entered. We are going to miss those entrances.

Mr. Z, you were a wonderful teacher and person! I hope you knew what an influence you had on me...you were there with kind words when I graduated from Waite, and I was so excited to tell you that I was graduating from college!

Ron was a wonderful colleage and an amazing friend. We had so much fun teaching math together at Byrnedale and playing in the TFT Teachers' Golf Outing. I cannot believe that he is gone and will miss him terribly. To all of his former students; you are truly blessed to have had such an awesome, powerful presence in your lives. I will never forget all the fun, jokes, discussions and laughter. Such precious memories!!

Mr. Z was a great Math Teacher. He made learning fun- even when it was not something we ever thought we'd use again. He had some interesting ways of relating what we were learning in Math to life and how it would help us later. Things I will never forget. Z, you were a great man, and educator.
Cheers to a great guy!

My family and I have had the pleasure of getting to know Z these past three years. He was a larger than life kind of guy who lit up our family gatherings with humorous stories. A particular memorable occasion was Memorial Day 2011 when he and Madeline prepared a lovely holiday dinner for our family including my 87 year old mother who was visiting from New York. His quick wit touched her heart too. I can't remember seeing her laugh so much in one day. I found Z to be an intelligent, interesting man with numerous talents who had achieved many accomplishments in his life. We will miss him very much. We are so very sorry for your loss.

Mr. Z was, by far, one of the most fun, informative, and political teachers I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. He knew how to make a class fun. His class was one of the few that you actually enjoyed going to day after day. The man could teach a math class, while eating fried chicken, without missing a beat. My condolences go out to the Zielinski family. He was a great man, and a great teacher.

I'm quite certain he was my favorite teacher I ever had. Mr. Z was awesome when it came to math, probably why it was my favorite subject in school. I am truly sad to hear he died at such a young age and it makes me happy to see all the other "kids" who enjoyed having him as a teacher as well. I knew him from Byrnedale back in the day. RIP Mr. Z until we meet again!

As this guestbook continues to grow you will find yourself holding onto the compassionant comments from Family, Friends, and even Strangers. All wish in some special way, to hug each of You and express their sincere condolences. A gesture that is lasting...a commitment to provide each of You with some sense of comfort. Our prayers for You and Your Family is that You will find peace in the beauty of Family and Friends, strength in the support of those praying for You, and hope that each day You will remember all the fun, happy times, and the joy that Ron brought to You. Hold onto those prescious memories and tuck them deep in Your heart and think of Ron often. Know that God does not make mistakes and only takes the best. God chose Ron for a reason and when He called Our loved one home, He left us with a gift of memories in exchange. These memories are the Legacy of His love. It is hard to understand why people are taken from Us, but find comfort in knowing You were a special part of The Z-Mans life. May God Bless...
