So sad to pick up today's paper and see an obituary for Bill Provenchar, our own ZCaveman, who passed on Sunday April 17th at age 72.

Z ran the NFL Challenge contest on TOTV and organized the NFL Pick 'Em contest each year. He has been a longtime member and participant on TOTV and will be missed.

RIP Z

Admin....will you please change his status to 'eternal member'?

So sorry to hear this. One of my favorite TOTVers. May he R.I.P.

I never knew his real name.

Sad news. He will be missed.

72 is much too young. I would not have recognized him if I met him in Publix, Walmart, Doggie Doo Run Run, or at one of the Villages' movie theaters judging from his picture in today's Villages Daily Sun nor had I met him at one of the Crisper's monthly TOTV late lunches.

We had several PM's as I wanted to thank him for the guidelines he put together for new people. Very nice person. Very sad. R.I.P.

He sent me some PMs as well about who is going to set up the NFL and NCAA Basketball pools in various years.

I do see he wanted donations for the Funeral Service sent to a Animal Shelter of some kind in New York. There is a private ceremony for him in the Military Cemetery in Bushnell as he was a Marine.

If you want to remember ZCaveman on TOTV, I hope you will look at some of his many posts. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/members/zcaveman-7255/

I will miss him a great deal as I interacted with him quite a bit on TOTV.

Thanks Villages07, I didn't know.
He was a real animal lover and I liked him a lot; he will be missed.
He will join our other eternal members who have passed.
I like to think that somewhere "up there", Muncle and Donna and ZCavemen are together.
Very sad news. RIP, ZCaveman.

I am sad to hear of Z's passing.

I have PM'ed him a couple of times but never took the leap to meet him, face to face.

I nice person who's "Nuts and Bolts" threads are classics. A must read for anyone moving to TV.

My deepest condolences to Bill's family and friends.

RIP - Bill

This is definitely very true. I did not realize how many times zcaveman and I were involved in various things on TOTV until reviewing his various posts on Sports Tournaments, movies, FunTrivia, computers, and other things.

My sincere condolences to his family.

He helped me a lot with Candy Crush Saga's various levels and a lot of other stuff. I sure could use his insight in the upcoming weeks on much more important matters.
