His special pride and joy was spending time coaching his daughters in softball and other sports. He was well known for his outstanding girls softball coaching skills and was well loved and respected by his girls, their parents, coaches and officials of the softball leagues, especially the Chile Peppers, the very promising Pride Allstar Team. Zeke's generosity and helpfulness knew of no boundaries as is evidenced by his many many softball friends and his close high school buddies.
