My condolences to the family of Mr. Zenone, although i knew him for a very short time, and he provided me a home, i had to leave the state and never heard from him again. it saddens me to find out of his passing 4 years later. May god rest your soul and take good care of you JZ, you were truley a blessing to everyone who knew you sir.

John Paul and all of the family - John was my adopted brother (I'm John Imig's sister). Our nickname for your John was "JZ." I have very fond memories of him - he and Martha went tubing with us in San Marcos many years ago. JZ was always around when I was growing up, and he even attended my sister's wedding in Atlanta in 2000 (I think that's the right year). He was a kind and gentle soul. John Paul, I met you at your grandparent's house in San Antonio once upon a time. You have my deepest sympathy at the loss of this remarkable man. He was an emotional giant, with unbelievable strength. God bless you all, and God bless JZ.

John Paul and Elisabeth,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will miss my Uncle John.
love, Pearl

JPZ- thinking of you at this sad time. Sorry I couldn't be there but know that I have been thinking of you! Your dad was one of us and one of the neatest people I have ever met! We had so much fun in high school and he had so much to do with that! Ill never forget his taser he had and how all the boys were scared of him. It was funny cause us girls were treated so good by him! He always made me feel welcome and I will never forget his humor and smile. I love you John Paul and pray you will find comfort in the days ahead.

Dear John Paul and Elizabeth:
May our Lord comfort you in this great loss. I have prayed and will continue to pray for you. for Carmen, and the family.

Floss, Uncle Carmen, and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of John's passing. I had only recently been back in touch with him and he talked about how much he'd like to have a reunion. I remember how much fun we all used to have when we were little and came to visit and it was so good to be back in touch after so many years.
My mom and my family all send their love, and you are all in my prayers.
Love,
Linda

We have many good high school memories of Him! He was sooo much fun and so "cool" and layed back. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Take care John Paul. Love ya.

Rest easy my old friend, it was a pleasure to have worked with you back in the day.

Farewell, John. Your suffering is over. We will always remember you as a devoted young husband and father.

JohnPaul and Elisabeth our thoughts are with you.

JP,
I knew you and your father a long time ago. I really have vivid memories of time I spent with you and your folks on Twin Lakes. You might know that I was a good friend of Jody, we both grew up in that hood. I echo what he says in his fond memories of time spent with your father John. He was very gracious to spend much of his time with some young dreamers as we were (he was a dreamer 14 years our senior). You were a little tike, mischievous but endearing.
Most of my memories of your father are from the time in Twin Lakes. I visited with him "way back" in the early nineties, but my greatest impressions are your old front yard, lawn work, shared comic book fanaticism, computer gaming (the old-school type on Commodore 64s), eating after-school snacks and of course, seeing you, fresh home from day-care and running about.
I've known lots of people in my life. Some of them I've forgotten, perhaps I can not see them clearly in my minds eye, nor hear their voice. I can see your dad, smiling and I can hear him telling me that I am welcome to come inside. He was always accommodating: generous of heart, mind and soul. That's how I will remember him.
I am sorry for your lose John Paul. Please know that you can look me up any time. You will always be welcome in my home, as I was in yours.
Love,
Daniel

Uncle Carmen & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of cousin John. He would call us from time to time and always talked of his love of family, love of God, and love of music. He was so proud of his son and longed for the love of his life, Martha. I pray that he is at peace right now and in the arms of his beloved Martha and our beloved Aunt Floss. I also pray for comfort and peace for the loved ones he has left behind....you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Your family in Pennsylvania

John Paul, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

JP,
Today my heart is heavy with sadness to learn of this news. As you know, I knew John since I was about 10 years old. Your father was a very positive influence on my life during my youth and through many troubled times. He was a great mentor and dear friend. I attribute much of my success today to career guidance given to me by him. I have countless fond memories of the fun times you, he and I shared over the years. His passion for computers and guitar were inspiring and are with me today. My Prayers are with you and all of your family.
Sincerely,
Jody Mullins

Dear Jill and family,
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. (Unknown)
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

John Paul, we are so sorry! John was like a brother to us. I know your mother took him by the hand and they are smiling at you right now. He will be missed. You are and always will be our baby.
We love you very much!

JohnPaul - Just wanted to let you know we are thinking about you and you will always be a part of our family. You have been just like one of our own and if you need us for anything, let us know. Today I was thinking about how we would all pile into the VW bug and go riding with the top down in the winter freezing our fannies off! We will talk to you soon. Much Love

John was my friend and brother-in-law. He was kind and always had a sunny disposition no matter what travails were thrown his way. We recently enjoyed a visit from him, and I can tell you he will be remembered very fondly and will be greatly missed. JohnPaul and Elisabeth and other Zenones -- I am so very sorry for this loss. Love to all, Joanna
