Horace Mann - Spring 2017 - 65

Memorials

1970 members shared memories of their former teacher and advisor,
whom they called "Zaks." "We should all take a moment of silence to
thank him for his long devotion to our class," wrote Dr. Franklin Lowe
'70. "During his last years, reading our class notes was a great joy for
him." Among classmates sharing memories were David Lowenherz
'70 and Dan Klein '70 who wrote: "Mr. Zak was a remarkable person in
every way. He was my first HM teacher (in summer school, to which I

was required to go as a condition of admission). He was not only a gifted
teacher but a man of infinite empathy. In that first class I was well on
my way to failing and not being admitted to HM. He took the time to help
me, not only with the math but with generalizable learning skills and the
self-esteem I needed to succeed ..." Leonard Zakrzewski is survived by
his wife Mary Kathleen Zakrzewski, son Donald Zakrzewski '81, daughter
Stephanie Zakrzewski Silver '81 and by two beloved grandchildren. $
