Verdell and family, Zack was a true friend to me for more than 56 years. Junior high, high school, college and beyond. It was so heartfelt to witness the different people saying wonderful things about Zack. All of which I know are so true. While this is surly a sad time for the family and the rest of us; It warms my heart to see how you guys are carrying on the legacy of the family. And how Zack touched so many people lives. He is a great man. Our prayers are with the family. Rest In Peace my dear brother. Warner Jones ,class of 1969 and 1973.
