I have known "Zak" most of my life. He was quite a character and will always remember having a lot of laughs.
RIP "The Big Z".

Junior was a lifelong friend of me and many other friends. He was an usher/collector at St John Church, Middletown for decades. He will be missed and I know he is resting in the arms of the lord in paradise,
