Kenneth Zoot Obituary

I have great memories of Kenny from my years in the Funny Fellows. I've gotten back in contact with most of the Guys in the last few years and it saddens me to have not seen Kenny again. May his memory be a blessing to his fiends and family.

When I moved to Albany Park in grade school Kenny was my very first friend I made. He and I spent a great deal of time together playing after school, weekends, vacations. We were in the Funny Fellows together.
Then are ways parted as I went to school in Wisconsin, Michigan and lived in Wisconsin. We never saw each other again, and yet in my heart whenever his name came up among our mutual friends my heart swelled with joy and fond memories.
May the love we all had of Kenny nourish you in these hard times.

Dear family of Ken Zoot,

I work as a Diet Aide at Northwest Community Hospital. One of my duties is to prepare the bedside tables prior to breakfast and lunch being served. I did this for Ken on several occasions.

The first time I entered his room we found a common bond in our love for our recently acquired dogs. It always gave us something to talk about.

I was saddened to hear that he had passed away and wanted to extend my heartfelt condolences to all of you.

May God give you comfort and strength in the days ahead as mourn the loss of this very kind and loving man.

Sincerely,

I was fortunate to have been a club brother of Kenny's during our high school years. I will always treasure my many fond memories of our enjoyable times together. Please accept my condolences.

I expressed my humble and sincere condolences at visitation to you, Mary, to your children and to Randi within the limitation of a room full of others who had come to pay their respects to Kenny. You should know that Kenny was a wonderful friend to all of us and one of the most beloved of any of the Funnny Fellows because of his easy going gentle ways. He always cared about the other guy and would listen to you if there was a problem and tried to help out. He was full of fun though a quiet and shy member of the group. I rediscovered Kenny in the early 90's and we set up a line of communication between us both by phone and by e-mail. He always liked getting the weekly notes I sent out about what's happening with the guys and sometimes would answer back with comments. I too wish that I could have spent more time with Kenny in the latter years as I know my life would have been enriched by his friendship. I know that you and the family will miss him and we the Funny Fellows family of his friends will miss him as well. May God bless you now and in the future.

I was very sad to hear of Ken's passing. He was my club brother, and I have fond memories of our times in high school together. My condolences to the Zoot family.

We are so sorry for your loss, and pray for you every day.

Sincere condolences to the Zoot Family from a club brother Ron Lidskin. Kenny always had a smile on his face and never had a bad word to say about anyone.

It's a sad note to add to many fond memories of wonderful times on this, our 50th anniversary of the Funny Fellows SAC from Roosevelt HS of Albany Park Chicago
From mine, and the entire Funny Fellow family, our deepest sympathies and a heartfelt best wishes for the future of Kenny's family.

I just wanted to say how very sorry I am to hear of the passing of my close friend Ken.Ken and I were in the same high school club and shared many many wonderful experiences together throughout those years.Although we went our separate ways throughout life we stayed in touch Ken was one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever known.I know he loved his family very much I just wish I could have spent more time with him as we got older.He was a very very special person to me and will never be forgotten.I was proud to be Ken's friend.

I have not seen Kenny for many years but I have very fond memories of our growing up together in Albany Park. My deepest sympathies to the family.
