We all send our deepest sympathy and love at this time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. That was such a beautiful video tribute of Uncle Jerry ‘s life and many beautiful family memories. Love Barbie, Ron and family
Very sorry to hear of Mr. Zavada's passing! He was my 4th grade teacher in the 1976-77 school year. He taught us how to spell his name by saying the letters in a little sing-song way which I just did in my head right now. He was a very fun teacher and included humor in his lessons.
One of my classmates found out when Mr. Zavada's birthday was. On that day, after the flag salute, instead of singing My Country 'tis Of Thee, we all started singing happy birthday to Mr. Zavada! I remember he literally jumped in the air, turned his head from side to side, and had the biggest smile on his face! He stood there, under the flag, until we were done singing. He thanked the whole class and told us we'd made his day! Such a nice man!!
With sincerest condolences to Mr. Zavada's family!
From the Robinette family to yours, we send our sincere condolences on the loss of your father.
Rest easy Mr. Z. May you life well-lived bring your family comfort during this difficult time. The world could use more teachers like Mr.Z.
One of my favorite teachers growing up. Always there with an encouraging word and understanding.
Mr. Zavada - congratulations on a life well lived. You were an inspiration to many children in our little town. I am very sure that you are happy in your forever home. I look forward to the day when we can play a little street hockey together again. Scott
