My wife and I were honored in our lives to call Walter Zeski our friend, He was always available with words of wisdom and knowledge when you you needed a voice in your life. He also knew how to make you laugh. Playing golf with Walter was always an adventure and so much fun for all of us in the morning blitz. He had so much love an appreciation for his lovely wife Fran and all his children. He was a very proud man we will miss his smile and laugh very much.
