Dear Mary Jane and family,  Our family was so sad upon hearing of Zaphy's passing.  He was a very dear man who everyone who knew him felt honored to be in his company.  Always know he will watch over you all.  He was a great man who loved his wonderful wife and family,  Our family loved being your neighbors all those years and we will always love you and treasure your friendship.  Mary Jane, Bonnie , Barry, Theresa and my Tina we will pray for all of you and Zaphy,  love always, Kay,Michael, Susie and David

A truly gifted man who led a life of unrhymed poetry that was almost surreal in its accomplishments, as borne out by and depicted in the wonderful "gallery" of displayed photos!  Life did not master him, he mastered it!  We should be pleased that Zaphy harbored no regrets and loved his life and EVERYONE in it.  For all the pain this period encompasses, there is also immense joy in knowing he loved those close and dear and he well-knew you loved him back!  No amount of education can ever teach us how to handle the great loss we feel with the passing of a loved one and friend.  But we can forever have gratitude for one having been such a vital part of our lives.  He gave nobly and unselfishly all he had to give to his family and others.  He cut a deep mark in those he touched with his heart & soul!///Laurel Park co-worker and friend.

Mary Jane and family.  I wanted to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. Za[hy was a wondweful man who  spread so much happiness in this world.  I saw all of your pictures  They are such wonderful pictures and a fine tribute to him.
