I grew up with Mr. Z’s grandson — Jeff. We spent countless hours together, and something I soon noticed was how much Jeff loved and respected his grandfather. I also noticed that Mr. Z was everywhere! He was at the barbecues. He was at the parties. He was at the sporting events — literally all of them. He was wherever his family was, cheering them on or enjoying their company.
Mr. Z was always incredibly nice to me, but what stood out the most is what he created. Everyone in the Zanghi family tree is amazing, and they have been a HUGE positive part of my life. Many of my most cherished childhood memories involve the Zanghis. Thank you for all the great times Zanghi family, and thank you to an absolute legend — Mr. Z.
