To the Zehnder Family, I was away in July and unfortunately got back to Connecticut to hear of Zeke's passing yet as We all know he was a very astute and compassionate attorney and person. I was back home not to long ago and ran into Don as we discussed local, state and federal politics and the "revival" of his Fighting Irish football team as he was so proud to be from Naugatuck and to attend Notre Dame! He is now with his beloved Mom looking down on Us with his big smile and wanting the best for all his family and friends. He was one of a kind and will be truly missed by all that knew him! Truly sorry for your loss, Tom M and family

I was so sorry to read of Donald's "Zeke" passing. I knew Zeke in high school and he was always so kind with a consistent smile which lit up his face. Everyone enjoyed being around his "aura". I happened to come across his obituary notice while composing my mother's notice (she passed on 7/7/2013). My heart breaks for your entire family.... my sympathies to all of you. Sincerely, Kimberly F. Wilson

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our dear friend Zeke. Zeke was a true friend throughout the years, from stopping by our first apartment in Derby to flying out to St. Louis to visit us in the midwest. We will miss his Notre Dame stories, his smile, his laugh and his presence in all our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

The Zehender Family;Our hearts and prayers are with you! Such a wonderful Son, Brother and FRIEND. We will miss his laugh and his genuine spirit. His help along the way for all our family, truly amazing.... Zeke, "Fly" Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way, don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise, the sun will set But I won't forget Fly, fly little wing Fly where only angels sing Fly away, the time is right Go now, find the light Love you Zeke,,always in my prayers...Sleep with GOD.

Dear Donald Sr., Shawn, Gail, & Terry: God has a reason for all that he does, but it is with heartfelt sorrow that we offer to the Zehnder family our deepest condolences. We will never be able to forget Don, as he will always be in our heart. Pat and I pray to the Lord and Blessed Mary to give you the courage, support and strength to find peace. The following is a quote from an Irish tombstone that we hope will help you to find solace: Death leaves a heartache No one can heal; But Love given by the person who is no more leaves a memory No one can steal.

Don and I called each other brothers, and it is now that my brother is gone from this life. My faith tells me he is with GOD; I know he is an Angel because he was in life. I cared deeply for him, we were at ease speaking, always laughing and sharing. Death leaves heartache, but memories ease the pain. Life is but a glimpse, and his was gone too soon. He was once a friend, but became my brother. I will forever love you, and I thank you. Rest in peace Zeke.

Zeke embraced life & was loved by all who knew him. When I visited with him Wed. evening, just prior to transfer to ICU, he showed remarkable courage, with no self-pity. He expressed deep gratitude for family and friends helping him & his Dad, & concern for family members. Not a bad word about anyone. He had been there for me in a time of need. I will miss 25 plus years of laughter & deep conversations, & fondly recall countless hours of tennis at Tribury. He unabashedly told close friends that he loved them. I was blessed to share that sentiment with him on Wed. I'lli miss wishing each other Happy Birthday on Sept. 5th. My deepest sympathy to his very fine family for the loss of a terrific guy.

My heart is broken...I can't believe that my lifelong friend is gone. I still feel Don's magic here on earth and I doubt that his aura will ever leave us. I love him always and my heart goes out to the Zehnder family. He is with his wonderful mom now and I'm sure that he is sitting on the back porch of our old Cape house talking politics with my beloved dad...so I miss you. God bless you, my love.
