From Charles

Dad was a one of a kind boss and leader for all of us.... 

below, maybe not a story, but 

a devoted and loving husband

a super duper Daddy - just the best, so wonderful, even when he was tested by some of my very few actions (walter and lowell experienced this much more than I) and his eyes grew on the other side of his glasses... to be sure you not only heard his message but felt it 

a tremendous boss and business leader

a moving, involved,  and positive community compromiser and peace maker 

an awesome grand father - a true Zadia

and would have been the most glowing great grand father - 

am VERY sure he is looking over Jack and Grayce in many ways and all the time

Hi all,

Today is Zaida's birthday.  I have been thinking of all the amazing stories about him and was wondering (hoping) that you might take a minute to "reply all" and share a story or two about him in memory of his birthday. If not, thats ok too.

I remember going to Wendy's downtown on the crosstown.  I think Anna and maybe Moshe was with us and Momma was there too.  We went through the drive through and the person behind the window gave us our food.  Zaida pulled over to check (I think thats how it happened) and something was not correct so he went up to the window and knocked on it to get the lady's attention to fix the order. Zaida was always willing to go the extra mile for his family, even if it as just to make sure we got the right food from Wendys!

Other memories are tractor rides, "i'll tie you in a knot and throw you on the roof", cutting the azaleas out in the country, clearing his throat, his Citadel ring, how big his hands were and how soft they were.

If you want to share a story, please remember to "reply all" so we can all remember.

Love and miss you.
