We are very sorry for your loss. I used to play baseball with Zach back in the day and I will never forget his impressive and dramatic sliding catches in center field. I will never forget the time we ran into each other unexpectedly in Washington DC and had a baseball catch in front of the White House. That is a good memory that I will always hang on to – Nick + John, Carol, Tony, Jack
