Mrs. Zenke, Lori, Julie, and Mike-



I just happened to come across the news of Mr. Zenke and wanted to let you know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Mr. Zenke was such a wonderful man. Every time that I came to your house he always put a smile on my face. He will be truly missed.

I had the fortune to work with Bob over the past 10 years. I will miss his great attitude and professionalism. Bob was a wonderful man and a true pro.

Dear Myra, Mike, Julie and Lori:

We feel such a sense of loss with Bob's death. There are no words that can make this journey easier for you but know that Bob touched so many lives with generous spirit. Our hearts are heavy but the world is a better place because BOB ZENKE was in it. We will miss the laughter and fun that was such a part of his nature. We will always remember all the good times we shared with Bob. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lori,



I was so very sorry to read of your dad's passing. Even the brief guest book entries depict the wonderful, loving man I thought he must have been, having known his delightful daughter. We still miss you here at Hyatt. My heart goes out to you and your family, your mom especially. I wish all of you peace.

We have such fond memories of all of our times together. Bob enjoyed life so much which made him such fun to be around. We will always think fondly of him with his brats, his beer & his laughter! Bob was truly blessed with such a beautiful wife and children. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jim and Jan Dongarra

Myra, Mike, Julie and Lori. I worked with Bob at STA. We spoke often, with me in Boston and him in Chicago, we would solve all of the companies problems. Bob was a first class gentleman and a good friend. I always considered him a real pro. He frequently spoke about all of you. He spoke about how he wanted to spend time with his wonderful family. After meeting Myra and Lori, I can see why. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I will be attending our sales meeting in Brea in Jan. I intend to wear the Red Sox hat Bob sent me from FLA last year and I will be sure to raise a Budweiser and offer a toast.

Dear Myra, Mike, Julie and Lori,

I cannot tell you how sad I am at the passing of Bob. I can't imagine the world without a Bob Zenke! His spirit was one to be emulated and his laugh was contagious. I will always treasure my memories of him in Lake Geneva, (he was my "NEW BEST FRIEND"), and his kind words for Joe. He will be greatly missed.
