Default RIP ZCaveman

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.

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.

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.

Here is his online Obituary-- Obituary of William "Bill" Provencher, Jr. | The Vil...

Quote:
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to North Shore Animal League, Port Washington Shopping Center, 25 Davis Avenue, Port Washington, NY 11050.
Arrangements entrusted to Beyers Funeral Home and Crematory, Lady Lake, FL Online condolences may be left at Home | Beyers Funeral Home serving Umatilla,Leesburg...

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

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