Zane was an amazing friend to us from the day we met him, telling us stories and always looking out for us. He an Norma opened up their home and their hearts to us. We figure he’s in Heaven talking cars with everyone. But here on earth he will be greatly missed.
Please know we love you and you’re in our thoughts and prayers. ?
My deepest sympathy for your family’s loss. I never personally met your father but heard many things about him as a wonderful friend and a good man from my mother and their friend, Paul Lester. My love and prayers for the comfort of your family.
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My Prayers are with the family. Although we have lived so far apart so many years I always called him my friend.
I can not begin to say how sad and sorry for the loss of my wonderful Uncle.Praying his family finds peace in knowing he is not suffering any more. Prayers for all of you. Love Dottie, Neice
