    I loved Z very much, he was very cultured and kind person, I loved talking the blues music with him, it was never ending subject that took on many shadows. The brother is reborn elsewhere but he still lives the heart- Much Love Sunil

    I was suprised to hear about the death of Mr. Zeno. He was key in bringing the Tuskegee Airmen to our campus for Black History month, only a few weeks before he died. He seemed to be a loving and generous man who thought of community first. I am sorry I will not have the chance to fellowship with him more, which is what I was looking for to this year.

    I am so sorry to learn of Bobbee’s passing. I am so late and sad. I got to know Bobbee during our time working together at the California African American Museum. I called him Bobbee Zed, and whenever I did a big ol’ smile would crease his face. He has left this plane, gone but never forgotten. I can see from the many messages and photographs that he touched many lives. I am glad that he touched mine.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Rick. I think we’re all still trying to assimilate the fact that Bobbee’s gone. I’m glad you have fond memories of him, as we do.
