Mrs Cross,while I have never met you and your family, I had the warm privilege of meeting Zeldon and then on several occasions when he was the driver for many tours offered by Freedom Travel! What a gentleman with such a kind heart and warm sense of humour! wherever they would be visiting, our guests always had wonderful comments about Zelldon at the end of each our like ..."I felt so sage with his driving",, I loved his sense of "humour"! I understand your are friends with Mansel & Samantha Belyea - I am Mansel's cousin! RIP Zeldon and may our Good Lord offer you a swift and safe journey HOME!

Dear Wanda, Wendy, Greg, and Stacy. We could hardly believe the news when Debbie saw a post on Facebook about Zeldon's death. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. We hold dear in our hearts the memories of wonderful times together with Zeldon. He was a great storyteller and always had one to tell, actually two or three. And the more he told the better they were. We loved listening to them. Zeldon's faith is now fully realized. While we grieve not having him with us here and now, we rejoice in knowing he has safely arrived home. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

And like many others are saying, I always remember him with a big smile on his face! However, I have to say...He was the world's loudest snorer!! :) Love and prayers, Maurenia and family

Dear Wanda, Wendy, Stacy & Greg: I always looked at Zeldon as a “gentle giant”. He always had a smile on his face and, as a kid growing up with Wendy in South Bay, he was taller than life itself at our age back then. May you all cherish the memories made over the years and embrace the comfort of Gods’ arms around you all. Sending love and hugs your way.

Dear Wanda, I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with Zeldon while he was at home. It was nice to reminisce about the south end where we grew up. Zeldon was the handsome one with the wavy blonde hair and the easy going personality. Where have the years gone? Our deepest condolences. May you find comfort in your Lord and your friends and family.
