While my time with Zeno was brief compared to many, it was no less profound. Zeno had a presence about him, a grace and a warmth, that was beautiful to witness. He had a genuine smile and an infectious laugh that typified his demeanor with everyone he came into contact with. I was honored to name my son after him and pledged to raise little Z to be the same kind, loving and generous soul that I was honored to have known. Genelle and family…I know there are no words to adequately account for the grief of such a loss but the Winchell Family hopes that you all find peace and solace in this difficult time. With Love, Mark & Family
