To all my Zak cousins- my memories of time spent in Lisle with your family are ones that are happy, warm, and adventure filled. This was due in no small part to the energetic and generous nature of "uncle" George (and "aunt" Helen, too!) For that I am so grateful, and my thoughts are with you as you mourn a loss but also celebrate a life so well lived---Nancy (Wagner) Udow

Dear David and Sharon - please accept my sympathy for you and the family at this time. I last saw your dad at one of David's plays and he was as happy as ever. You and your family, including your mom, will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
