Came across the City of Hialeah's memorial service today. Absolutely beautiful and moving. I never had the pleasure of meeting this beloved man. As a life long resident of Hialeah thank you for your service. My condolences to the family my heart is with you.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I keep remembering our dinner in Fort Pierce with Craig, Krista, LeAnn and Bobbie on The Yacht!!! May God see you thru this difficult time. Charlotte
I have always cherished the friendship that I had with Zeke. As teens we met at the intersection where Gorby's barn is still, and moved on to our crazy adventures from there many times getting on the bus to go to Huntington and visiting his mom, Grace who was so kind to both of us. Michael and I stayed friends throughout high school, wrestled on the Fairland team, and had many adventures with Phil Smith, Alan Estep, and Steve Pigg, and even double dated later before moving on, me to California and Zeke to Florida. I will never forget my friend's kindness during those teen years and the crazy fun times we shared. Love you brother and see you again. My heart is with his family and friends and my sincere condolences to you. Zeke was a good man and I am blessed to have been his friend.
Zeke's Family & Friends We didn't know James very well except for our mutual and great friend, Phil Smith! We kind of got to know Zeke through the many accolades and stories that Phil told us! Our sincere condolences to you all, it sounds like he was a wonderful man!
Our old man. Paul and I love you! We cared for you the last year of your life and it was an honor. It was the most challenging and sad time but filled with laughter and joy every day between us. Not many people knew what a softie you were but we did. We knew how to push your buttons and you knew each one of ours. From diagnosis to chemo we never missed an appointment, We didn't miss meds and we never missed an opportunity to tell you that we loved you. You would always look at us and say My F-ing idiots I love you two. You never missed a birthday and certainly never missed an opportunity to straighten us out. From fishing all over the state with Paul to having your own personal triple A (AAA) with me who would come rescue you anywhere anytime without question; you lived, you smiled, you laughed. If people only knew the ridiculous things we did. Your friends from school tried to get you to retire 15 years ago and they never understood why you refused. When we brought you home and met them they saw our connection and brotherhood they looked at us and said We finally understand. 39 years of faithful service to the city of Hialeah you refused to retire and made it clear your would pass on as a fireman. You did it my brother, you served as an active firefighter until your last breath. If there is a fire truck in heaven I rest east knowing your driving it and one day I'll be in the back again enjoying that ride. Slick
I am so sorry for Mike's passing. I had no idea of his battle with cancer until today. He was a great guy I remember so well from high school. Prayers for his family and his friends, so many from our 1969 Class. May he rest in peace.... And may the memories of happy times together bring comfort to all......
It always saddens my heart to learn of the passing another Fairland classmate. Zeke graduated the year before me, but I remember him very well as a friendly, fun-loving guy. Condolences to his family.
My condolences to the family at this time of sorrow. Mike and I went to school together and ran around some. We both love Florida and kept in touch via Facebook. Praying for your family.
