ZAHM George J. George J. Zahm, age 89, of Lambertville, passed away peacefully, August 20, 2006, in his home surrounded by his loving family. He and his twin brother, Nathan were born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 9, 1916, the sons of Abraham and Rose Zahm. George grew up in Cleveland, sold newspapers with his brother and worked in a produce market as a young man. He attended Ohio State University until the outbreak of World War II, when he was drafted into the Army Air Corps as a private. Sent overseas to England, George served his country with distinction, rising to the rank of major in the Eighth Air Force. While stationed in England during the war, he met and married the love of his life, Vera, his wife of 62 years. After the war George and Vera settled in Toledo, where he worked for the Kane Company for several years selling wholesale appliances. George later became executive vice-president of the former Commercial Electric Company in Toledo. He provided goods for dozens of area appliance dealers over several decades, created many lasting friendships, and finally retired in 1984 as regional sales manager for the General Electric Company. George enjoyed the opera and theater and had lead parts in several Toledo Village Players productions. He enthusiastically participated in all water sports at his home on Lake Erie, including entertaining the neighbors with his waterskiing abilities well into his 70's. However, for all his accomplishments and interests, none were so important as spending time with his family. The consummate husband, father and son-in-law, he centered his life on his family. Love of family and selfless devotion to the family ideal were his hallmarks. George successfully navigated through all of life's challenges and always demonstrated that family comes first. His commitment to those he loved was always a shining example of how to do it right. George's grateful and loving family will be his honored legacy. George was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, David and Nathan; sister, Molly and beloved in-laws, Daisy Walford and Cecil Walford ("Mom and Pop"). He is survived by his loving wife, Vera; daughter, Lari "Hilary" Shea (Harvey Hoechstetter) of Mendocino, CA; son, David (Carol) Zahm of Dayton, MD; daughter, Vicki (Steve) Steger of Madison, OH; son, Roger (Michelle) Zahm of Lambertville, MI and 12 grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at J. Jeffrey Fretti Funeral Home, 5045 West Sylvania Avenue (At Corey Rd.), Toledo, Ohio (419)843-1117 on Thursday, August 24, 2006, at 1:00 p.m. Private burial for family only will follow at Roselawn Memorial Park, LaSalle, MI. Those wishing to make contributions are asked to consider Ronald McDonald House and/or Hospice of Northwest Ohio. "Ok Kid...I'll be talkin' to ya..."

I'M CONTENT WITH WHO I AM AND WHERE I'M AT. LIFE IF FUN, AND I'M ENJOYING EVERYTHING THAT IS COMING MY WAY. EVEN THE BAD, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SOON, I'M GOING TO MISS THE LITTLE ANNOYANCES OF HOME AND THE FAMILIAR LIFE. I LOVE THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE, AND I LOVE ALL THE NEW PEOPLE I'M MEETING. RIGHT NOW, LIFE IS ABOUT EXPERIENCES AND LIVING EVERYTHING TO THE FULLEST. I FEEL SUCCESSFUL. BOTH IN SCHOOL AND IN MYSELF. I'VE LEARNED HOW TO REALLY DEPEND UPON ME. I'VE REALIZED THAT I AM THE STRONG PERSON I TRY TO DISPLAY. IT JUST TOOK SOME HARDSHIP TO SHOW ME THAT. I FEEL THAT I'M IMPROVING WHO I AM, AND I'M PROUD. IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE AMAZING IS GOING TO COME MY WAY, LET IT, BUT I'M NOT LOOKING FOR IT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I LIKE WHERE I'M AT.
