I will cherish the memories I had of you. The fun times at pool parties, sleepovers, our trip to Stonebrair with the family to see Walking with Dinosaurs. As the weeks and months pass we will cherish the memories forever. Till we’re all together again at the pearly gates above. RIP Dad Zach.
The afternoon we went exploring the “bomb shelter” under the school and changed the tune to the school announcements. The marathon cramming we did to get A+’s in physics by retaking the finals to raise our grades from A’s. Building the gas laser after school in the lab…and watching it vaporize. Our working together for the science fair projects. Playing chess secretly in class. Our great talks about great science fiction. All those lunches. All those rides. You working as a airport taxi mechanic. The accident. The time we made an entire row of classmates too scared to sit because they thought we had created electric chairs..Too many memories to list. Zach you have been a part of some of my best stories. RIP old friend.ÂÂ
The Pinney family will always remember himÂÂ
On this day I will be thinking of you and your family. Zachary was one of the few cousins still at home when we made our annual trip to Texas, so he was one of the few cousins I got to see every year when we visited Aunt Molly and Uncle William. I remember him having the biggest hamster set up I ever saw, listening to him playing the drums and generally getting into trouble with Scott when we visited. I was too little to hang out with the “cooler” teen cousins, but I got to watch them get married and start their families. May your family find peace in their memories. Cousin Zachary, you will be missed.
