My deepest sympathy to your family. Although I didn't know Mr. Zumpf personally, I had the privilege of being a substitute teacher at Oster-Oakview School, where I was able to get to know his children. Both Joe and Amy were always joys to have in class. They were always very friendly and polite. I'm certain that their dad was a very special person to have two such great children. Again, my deepest sympathy to all. Nancy Slattery
