I knew him simply as 'Z', but there was nothing simple about him. Witty, intelligent, funny, gracious these are just a few words I would use to describe him. I never got the chance to personally meet him, but he was a person that will forever stay in my heart and mind. I remember the first time I went to his site. I went to seek out more info on him and his books. I was surprised when he actually spoke with me. And not only spoke with me, but treated me with respect and kindness. His love of the character Doc Holliday made him an instant favorite to me. As this was my all time favorite historical character. When Z met his maker I am sure he said 'I'm your Huckleberry!' Godspeed Z. You will be missed.
