From the moment Zach entered my art room I knew he was a special young man. I was so sad to hear that Zach passed away. I always enjoyed his smile and the sparkle in his eyes.
July 10, 2007
Foreman Family--
I didn't know Zach but I do now know a lot of his closest friends. As soon as I heard I was heartbroken. Heartbroken because such a wonderful person was sadley taken away. I have heard that he was a fantastic student and amazing friend. That is the kind of person that we need more of in this world. Zach has set a wonderful example of how a person should live their life...helping other people and eventually end up with an everlasting smile on his face. He will never be foregotten. My prayers to you all.

From the minute I met Zach I knew he was the kind of person that changes your life, showing you the brighter side of everything and putting a smile on your face. Whether it was trying to figure out our math homework or discussing our tennis abilities, with Zach there was never a dull moment. He was a great freind who was always there to talk to, and for that he will be missed. It's too hard to explain what it is going to be like without him, but i'm glad I had the chance to know him.
My prayers are with the Foreman family.

Zach was in many of my classes. Zach was such a funny kid in the movies he and Ross made. I was stunned when I read the paper for Kildeer in the Metro section in the Chicago Tribune. Zach continues to be in my, and my families, prayers.

While our family did not know Zach personally, we were overwhelmed by the expressions of love and compassion from our community for your son last Sunday. Our lives have been touched nonetheless by such a truly wonderfuly young man. Our prayers are with you during your time of grief - and I wish that our words could somehow ease your pain. As I read over the entries in this guest book, it is so apparent that your son, Zachary, touched so many young lives in such a short period of time. I only hope and pray that there is comfort in that for you. While it seems only a moment of time he was in your arms, he is forever in your heart and that of so many others.

All these entries from friends and family show what a special person Zachary was and how much he affected
those who knew him.
I had the fortunate chance of meeting him once and have heard many stories of Zach from his father Sandy and can see the love and admiration he had in his eyes when he talked about his family. May you take some comfort in knowing what a wonderful person he was and what a great job you did as parents. He will not be forgotten. My heart and prayers go out to you in this very difficult time.
May his memory be eternal.
G-D bless!

I didn't know Zach as much as I would have liked to, I now regret that. I played football with Zach a few years back. He was always one of the big kids to me and I looked up to him especially on defense, he was just unstopable. I still can't belive it. My heart and prayers go out to him and his family. He was a great kid, I just wish I had gotten to know him better.

I can't express how sorry we are about Zach. But I can tell you how much I enjoyed coaching and being around Zach. He was always a pleasure. Always had a smile on his face. I will never forget the one time he told me that he was being triple teamed and getting his but kicked and laughing about it. Of course I told him that that ment two other people were not being blocked. I will miss him dearly.

We love you all.

Zach was one of those students that you just know will achieve greatness in life. Although Zach’s time was short, he still managed to demonstrate to everyone around him what he truly loved to do: make people laugh. Three simple words that he took to heart every single day, no matter what the situation may be. I could always count on Zach to lead the class in a discussion of just about everything and anything, although, LOST, was one of his favorite topics to discuss, and I must admit, it was one of mine as well. Zach was a creative force beyond his years, always smiling and giggling. No matter what the assignment was Zach always managed to put his own twist on it, and make it a “production” for all to see. I will never forget Zach and Ross’ Movie Critique that brought down the whole library, or the “musical” they did for our team Poetry Slam. Having Zach in LA and Literature was truly a memorable experience for me, and I am so grateful to have had the chance to have been his teacher. Thank you for raising such an exceptional, young man. Zach will be missed greatly.

There are no words that can possibly express how we feel about your loss of Zach. In remembering Zach, we can see the twinkle in his eyes, the smile on his face and all the clowning around he always did. What a wonderful person he was. May these fond memories as well as others always give you strength and peace knowing he was so special. Zach will always have a special place in our hearts. Please know that you can call us any time, day or night, as we will be there for the three of you.

Dear Judy-
My family and I visit your dental office regularly, and you are always there to greet us with your warm smile. We have always spoken about our children, and I feel as though I knew your boys, although I have never met them. I am so sorry to hear about Zach, and I wish I had met him. I have heard that he touched many hearts. Some people accomplish less in 80 years than Zach did in his short life. May God bless you all.

Words can’t express how sorry I was to hear the news about Zach. It was my pleasure to have Zach as a student this past year in both social studies and in homeroom. He was an exceptional student and always had the ability to make his classmates and me laugh on a regular basis. There are many things I will remember about Zach like his sense of responsibility for his school work and the relationships he created with many different types of students. Other examples are when Zach was the “foreman” in our Assembly Line activity, the many videos that he participated in for LA and SS projects, and his musical poem that he performed with Ross- it really did deserve a perfect 10. I will also remember always being able to count on a smile on Zach’s face when he walked into the room. He will be missed!
Dennis Finney
June 17, 2007
Dear Foreman Family,
We were saddened to hear of the tragic loss of your dear son, Zach.
We had the privilege of meeting Zach and your family at several social events, at the home of Dan and Robyn Sopocy & family. We know that Zach was our nephew, Brett Sopocy's very good friend. We too remember the smile and pleasant personality of your dear son Zach.
Brett and the Sopocy family spoke of him often and very positively.
In life there are times when it is impossible to understand or explain why tragedies happen; this is clearly one of those times, for your family. In reading the nine pages of condolences that came before ours and seeing the outpouring of sympathy and love at Zach's funeral, it is infinitely clear, that Zach was an exceptional young man, who had a positive impact on many, many lives. Our heartfelt condolences to your family. We will continue praying and know God will sustain and strengthen your family in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.
May God bless Zach and your family and keep you in His loving arms forever.
Sincerely, The Finney Family

Zach was one of the most amazing kids that I ever met, and I am glad to have met him. He was always smiling whether it was just walking in the halls or at lunch or anywhere he went and that smile was contagious. I know that he made me laugh whenever I needed it. My heart goes out to the Foreman family along with my prayers.
Claudia Dawson
June 17, 2007
Zach was such an amazing guy. I've known him since 1st grade, and we were best buds. We grew apart because I moved around so much, but everytime I saw him he was such a great guy to be around. He was always smiling and even though we were basically strangers, made me feel like it was just another day on the park at Charles Quentin. He will be missed.
Emily Trittschuh

Even though I didn't know Zach very well, I felt like I did becuase of everything people said about it or the few times we talked during First in Line. He was hilarious. In First in Line, I always made sure I was in the room when he was rehearsing the restarunt scene becuase I knew it would make me laugh. I remember that one time during the play, he asked to borrow my back pack for a scene. I will never get rid of the backpack, knowing that such an amzing person that left beind incedibe memories for all of us used it. He truly is an inspiration to me and many others and we will never forget the terrible trajedy. Zach was also a role model, and had a amzing personality. He wasn't most boys, he was sweet and he wasn't cocky or ever mean to anyone. My prayers go out to his mom, dad, and brother. Zach is always watching over us and will certainly never be forgotten.
Christine Evans

Zach was one of Colin's very best friends, but my whole family enjoyed his company whenever he came to our house. I was always envious of Zach's natural ability to talk and laugh with anyone, a characteristic I can only hope to aspire to. Zach left quite an imprint on me, and I already miss him dearly.

To the Foreman Family,
Zach was probably the nicest person I have ever met. He would always make you smile if you were sad or entertain you if you were bored. I remember one time, right before our play "First In Line" started, everyone was nervous and tense. All of the sudden Zach cracked a joke and we all started laughing. I will miss him so much. I will never forget him.
Tara McKee
June 16, 2007
Zach was a person who was just plain fun to be around. MSS's "First In Line" was an awesome production due to the humor he brought to it. I'll never forget the scene where he wore the hawian skirt. My heart goes out to him and his family. Always praying.

His good nature, compassion, and sensitivity were an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him.

I met Zach in 5th grade through football, it was my first year playing the sport and everytime that i was confused and the other kids thought i was an idiot Zach stepped aside and helped or explained it to me. I wasn't his best friend but now I realize what he ment to me, he gave me the determination and mind set to go for what you want and dont settle for anything less, Zach I love you and will see you one day for now watch out for me, Love you

Zach was a student that every teacher wants in class. He came every day with a great sense of humor, amazing work ethic, and kindness. Although I taught him in seventh grade, I enjoyed our times he came back to chat this year. Zach had a plethora of friends and made an impact wherever he went. He was a positive role model to both his peers and adults. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching Zach and he will be greatly missed. Your family will be in my prayers as you go through this tough time.
Lauren Gornik
June 15, 2007
Wow.
Zach was such an amazing person. I still cant believe this happened. I wasn't that close to him, i just knew him a little from school, or i heard about the nice things he did from other people. Not to long ago, i hung out with him at 6 flags with some other people and it didnt seem like in a few weeks after that he would be gone.
Im going to keep Zach, and his family in my prayers.
Zach--you'll be missed, loved, but NEVER forgotten <3

Dear Foreman family,
While there are no words of comfort that can take away from your loss of Zachary, may all the love of our community touch each of your hearts in a special way.

You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

R.I.P. Zach Foreman... the world lost a great man, but gained a wonderful angel.. <33

Zach was my best friend and the nicest guy i have ever met. Zach taught me how to be a better person and he would always tell me how much he wanted for me. i am going to take what he gave me and accomplish what he wanted to make him proud. he will never leave my heart and my prayers go out the the foreman family. Zach told me so much about you all, unfortunately we never got a chance to meet, but i know we will meet soon. you are all in my prayers and you should be amazingly proud for raising such an amazing boy.

Though Zach was not a student I had in class, I knew him well. Kids always asked if we were related, and sometimes we played along and said that we were. I often joked with him that he was the "2nd coolest Foreman in the school." Zach was an amazing kid who will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Zach's family and friends.

Loosing such a great kid was hard for all of us who knew Zach. He really did touch each and every one of our hearts. He showed people what a good roll model was. He always had a smile on his face and I don't think I've ever seen that kid in a bad mood. He could crack a smile among anybody's face without a doubt. I will miss Zach dearly and he will cross my heart and mind everyday.

I knew Zach as the kid who was in Mr. Chopra's nineth period math class. I knew Zach as the funny boy who had been in school with me since Elementary School. I knew him as the type of person to get through school with determination and laughs. Zach didn't leave this earth without having made an impact on almost every person who knew him. Through Zach, we can learn never to hold back and to live our lives to the fullest. I can't begin to express how sorry I am for the Foreman's and for everyone who knew Zach. We all know what it's like to lose a family memeber or a friend, and we're sorry. We'll miss Zach.

The Foreman Family,
First off we want to start by saying that Zach was an amazing kid. He was intelligent and had a bright future ahead of him. There wasn't a day when he wasn't smiling or helping someone out. Even though we weren't friends for very long he taught us so much about life and friendship. He was someone you always knew you could go to for help. We give you our deepest sympathy and condolences in this time of tradgedy and we want to thank you for raising such a special kid like Zach who has impacted us all.

I've only known Zach for a short time. I help coach on his baseball team this year. I liked Zach from the first time I met him. He was a wonderful kid and a heck of ball player. I only wish I would have known him longer. Everyone I've spoken to all say the same things, happy, funny smart, always smileing, always willing to help and just an all around great kid. By attending the furneral today I was able to see just how much he meant to so many people. Friends, teachers and of course family. He's was a great kid and I'm sure his memory will live on with all of us for a very long time....He will be missed deeply.

Sandy, Judy and Jason,
Our thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow. Words can not express the sympathy we have for you and your entire family. God must have needed another angel, because that's what Zach was.

Zach was a good friend of our nephew, Brett. We've heard many wonderful stories of Zach over the years as well as have seen him play at ball games and family gatherings. He was a wonderful young man who was a gift to those who were lucky enough to know him. A person as special as Zach could only come from a good family - very loving parents who guided him well. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sandy & Judy: Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this sad time. Daniel was lucky enough to have Zach on 2 of his BGRA teams and I had the privelage of being one of the coaches on the 9 year old team. He truly was a pleasure to coach. I remember his sunny disposition and laugh. He seemed to have a perpetual smile on his face. We hope memories such as these can keep your hearts warm and give you strength. He touched many lives in such a short period of time.
Best regards,
The Recht Family

Zach was always so nice and smiling and just a happy kid, and its so sad that something like this would ever, or could ever happen to anyone we know. You never know how much someone really means until they're gone. I'm so sorry for the loss
