Amigo - a year - I know you're watching and affecting, cheering us on, and continuing to inspire. I know you're helping from that realm around us. Good travels man...

Here is a special photo, taken in 2004.

Zee is sitting in his big recliner chair,

spending an afternoon with his youngest son,

his second wife and her friend from 'the Domain era'.

They made a huge effort to come up every summer

to spend time with us in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada,

before venturing further north to visit other family members.

Zee entered architectural school at the age of 13,

and became a very successful architect at 16.

Here he is in the mid 1950's, with his Abe Lincoln beard, in Salem, Oregon.

He wanted to design and share excellence.

When he could only find people who wanted 'the cheap and the familiar', he went into the ministry (to restore what happened in the First Century) and then into physics.

He was always willing to be the one to reach.

He kept asking, what more do I need to learn, need to try, need to explore, to bring about change?!

Passport photo from the early 1960's.

Kissing cousins, 2 1/2 and 3 years old,

on a beach in southern California. 1938.

His long hair was often a point of contention and for business he was often forced to keep it short.

But during the whole 24 years I knew him,

he only allowed the ends to be trimmed a few times.

Eating potatoe peelings did not produce the effect sought.

What he had in length made up for what he didn't have on top.

His hair was so soft and fine.

As a child, one aunt lovingly called it 'purr-fur'.

Zee, at 18 or 19 years of age.

Looks so much like his name sake.

Another one of my favourite photos.

Graduation photo from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

We still have his gown from graduation day.

Zee's 1,356 page thesis: Language, Literacy and Intelligence: Made For Each Other ! ? is available online, for free.

He took three days to present his thesis to the United Nations' think tank: The Ecology of Knowlege Network (E.O.K.). Zee went on to chair the E.O.K. for five fall sessions.

Zee applied for Ontario Graduate Studies, however, the supervisor for his B.I.S. thesis, Dr. Kiyoshi Izumi, was forced into retirement at age 65.

Being as he was the only professor who knew enough about the subject to supervise Zee, Zee left school and founded the Domain organizations.

Zee and Kiyo understood each other so well and loved each other so much.

When Kiyo passed away, in the 90's, Zee mourned the loss of a very dear friend and allie.

One can only hope that they are together now.

Zee's mother prepared authentic Mexican food, during part of his childhood. Chi Chi's Restaurant was as good as it got in Canada. The sombrero signifies that this was a birthday photograph (Dec. 13th), sometime in the 90's, during the "Domain era", no doubt with the Domain group gathered, in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Gotta love that expression.

14th anniversary, living in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.

He knew what it was to be content and joyful,

and it was contagious.

Zee's oldest son, with his wife and four boys.

Early photos of Zee's youngest daughter,

in Canada and in Scotland.

Definitely one of my all-time favourite photos.

Father and youngest daughter sharing precious moments, in the spring of 2009.

Zee taught Tibetan and Zen meditation for over 40 years, and this daughter became an ordained nun.

Zee's oldest daughter in his second marriage.

Memories of a log house, situated on 65 acres at a research station, outside of Elmira, Ontario, Canada.

Proud mamma and pappa.

This newest addition to Grandpa Zee's grandchildren,

is now a 35 pound, 18 month old bundle of joy.

After the burial service, she visited Grandpa Zee's apartment.

When she couldn't find Grandpa, she waved 'bye bye' to his photograph.

Some of Zee's family's earliest photos:

1. Posing with his parents (His mother was a singer on the radio, his father was a very capable mechanic and drove trucks. He had Zee disassemble a car and put it back together again);

2. A toddler with his dog, Taffy;

3. Standing in the wading pool;

4. Posing with his parents again, at a later age;

5. riding his new bicycle with his foster-grandfather -

Zee lovingly referred to him as "Dad".

While traveling through the tunnel, during his near-death experience (NDE), in 1966, Zee reported meeting his foster-grandfather.

Tractor beams of love, liquid love, flowed between them.

During World War II, when it was difficult to buy a bicycle,

his foster-grandfather found parts, assembled and painted a bike for his grandson.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, L.A. became the next obvious target, so the family moved frequently.

Zee's second oldest son, fourth oldest child - A recently retired Cargo Master with the Air Force.

Oldest three children, in Washington State, 1963.

Zee's oldest son, third oldest child.

Now also a loving husband and father of four boys,

and a very successful technical writer.

This is Zee's first wife, and mother to their 3 surviving children.

Dr. J. Gross listened to Zee speak at a conference, in Virginia Beach, in the late 1960's. Following the presentation, Zee and Dr. Gross became fast friends. Dr. Gross referred to himself as a 'hippie psychiatrist'. He supported many of Zee's technological ventures through 40+ years of friendship.

Zee was able to be with Dr. Gross one last time, for Dr. Gross' 80th birthday, this past summer. These two had so many thoughts and ideas to share, about a wide range of academic, spiritual and technological topics. In addition to his Double Dorje pendent, Zee was buried with a photograph of the Buddha, supplied by Dr. Gross.

Jill, Zee's second born daughter was a nurse,

and she raised two beautiful daughters.

Jill passed away, before her father, in 2005.

May they once again be united.

I am amazed I was able to catch this adorable moment.

I was admiring the lake at Frontier Lodge,

north of Elliot Lake.

When I turned, there was Zee,

having a conversation with an insect, on his T-shirt.

Zee honouring, respecting and loving all life.

Zee's father's side of the family,

aunts and uncles, holding St. Bernard puppies.

California.

Zee, his second wife, and two daughters,

lived on an estate called "Greenlands"

on the Isle of Man, in the late 1980's.

The picture in the far bottom corner:

Zee and his second wife founded a research station /

charitable foundation called Domain,

which existed from 1986 - 1994.

Staff posed together for a photo (spring 1988).

In a period of 2 weeks my two greatest living heroes died, Steve Jobs and Zee, who I often wondered if Zee could equal Steve Jobs creativity if not add dimensions to what is already there. Jobs got international attention, Zee deserves as much and always chose to serve in secrete not to be seen by others and I know only a fraction of what he has done. Knowing Zee has been very exciting, an honor, and I don't know by what good fortune it has been that my path crossed this great man's. The world has suffered a great loss and we here are the few who know it. The world is lost, we all are, and looking for spiritual answers on how to follow our destines to be ready for that ultimate day. Zee gave us a direction and better yet an example to follow. Zee was ahead of his time, to put it modestly. He tried to teach quantum physics and spirituality to our present day world that could intrinsically improve it with information that he initially knew in the 1950's. He brought other world vistas, difficult to open to because of the everyday needs of our physical bodies. He wanted to free people's spirits by allowing us to see clearly and let go. Honesty, coherency and completeness we're Zee's hallmarks. He was an exemplar of one of his many axioms that made an impression on me such as "a half truth is a whole lie". I knew Zee to be sincere, sentimental and tributary. Although I spent relatively little time with Zee, he recognized what little I had done for him and I'm honored that I can be here today with the immediate family of a man that had impressed me so much from the first time I met him. The best way that I can summarize Zee's role as an inspirer is to quote a pop opera song by Andrea Bocelli called Rhapsody. I would like to liberate your heart, and I would like to pretend to fall, so that you could shine brighter, so that you could be closer, and in this way my spirit soars towards eternity Rhapsody. Zee made us all closer together in a beautiful way

I have noticed frequently that whenever there is the physical loss of a person upon our planet; the echoes are there long after. Zee is such that person. I have never physically met him, but during the term of our written friendship I feel that I have known him for millenia and in the manner in which I believe - I know this to be true. With both he and Jennifer I have always felt safe in knowing that I don't HAVE to agree 100% in what they may say and write, but I always know they respect my opinion, and furthermore ALLOW me to have my opinion. That to me is a sign of greatness - and Zee has so many signs of greatness and he lives on. He dwells in our hearts and minds, and sometimes right along side - this is just a step on that long journey of time. Till our paths cross again amigo... Frank

Thank You Zee for Your Presence in Our Lives and Opening a Gateway of the Possibility and the Realization, that By Our Sharing and Caring, Life Here Can Be More Meaningful. I am certain that On The Other Side, You will continue to Inspire Us All for Generations. With Love and Best Regards to All His Family and Friends, Richard

Here is a rather tired grandpa Zee

having a very pleasant, quiet time with his grandson,

in 2006, in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

Here is Zee's oldest daughter, holding her first granddaughter,

making the baby Zee's first great-granddaughter.

This granddaughter is now about 6 years old and she and grandpa

had been corresponding recently through facebook.

This photo was taken around 2005.

Zee, standing to the left of baby Gary,

was attending his cousin's birthday, in California.

Even at 7 years old, Zee is seen here wearing a medallion.

We're not sure, but we think his kissing cousin, Joyce,

is seen to the right of baby Gary, wearing a plaid skirt.

Here is a special photo, taken in 2004.

Zee is sitting in his big recliner chair,

spending an afternoon with his youngest son,

his second wife and her friend from 'the Domain era'.

They made a huge effort to come up every summer

to spend time with us in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada,

before venturing further north to visit other family members.

This was the evening of our 14th anniversary, 2004.

He had lived in Nova Scotia, in 1969,

and ate lobster with butter all day long,

while lecturing and attempting to begin

what I refer to as 'Harbinger II'.

Frozen lobster in Elliot Lake could hardly be compared

to fresh lobster from the ocean, decades earlier,

but he savoured every bite.

It went very well with the cranberry juice he was drinking.

He was rather disturbed that I had taken these photos,

after he became vegetarian,

but I thought the expressions on his face

were just priceless.

Oh, and the corny bib - so cute.

Such fond memories.

In the fall, while living in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada,

Zee and I would drive to Mississauga Park.

It took quite a while to inflate the green chair,

find the ideal location, drag the perfect rock over for his foot stool,

arrange drinks and books and markers and pens next to him.

And then to don that special sun hat.

But it was so worth it.

He was so so happy to read next to the water,

while I took a walk along the beach.

Zee's photo was taken during the plenary stages

of the Glastonbury Festival, in 1971.

Zee was one of three directors, with Arrabella Churchill,

Winston Churchill's granddaughter,

and Andrew Kerr.

Nick Roeg filmed the festival.

A video of the festival is available online.

Numerous musical groups performed,

six sides of an album were cut.

One of the performers was David Bowie.

There was a pyramid stage

built in the midst of the Glastonbury Torr,

in the Vale of Avalon.

In order to provide funding for the festival,

Zee sold rare artifacts that he had found in Costa Rica,

to Desmond Moriss, author of The Naked Ape.

Some of the details for this festival are available at Wikipedia.

Here is a link to one website, hosted by Bill Harkin,

which does provide some explanation of the Festival

and Zee's involvement in it.

This photograph was taken during a birthday gathering,

in California, when Zee turned 9 years old.

Zee is standing in front of his cake and candles.

The other children are friends and relatives.

Much thanks to J. Paul Hawthorne, cousin,

for supplying this photograph.

This photo was also taken in the summer of 2006,

in our home, in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Grandpa Zee was very carefully sharing his pudding

with one of his youngest grandsons

who was visiting from southern Ontario.

This photograph was taken in the summer of 2006,

in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Grandpa Zee and Jennifer are visiting

with a brand new baby grandson, for the first time.

Grandpa Zee was making funny sounds and moving baby's feet.

(The photo provided was taken at the Ottawa Tulip Festival, Canada, around 1993. Zee and I were involved in business negotiations regarding concrete supplementation and completion, as well as multiple other life essential technologies, attempting to keep Domain Ecodynamics Research Foundation afloat. We were traveling back and forth between Domain, in Maryhill, Ontario, and Ray Jackson's home, in Ottawa, Ontario.) In 1966, a non-judgemental being of light met Zee, after he had died and passed through a tunnel. It asked him one question: "Did you do what you intended to do?" And today I say, "Yes you did, Zee. Yes you did!" There were so many aspects to Zee's life, so many contributions that he made, so many contributions he could have made, had an opportunity been provided. There is nothing available that can do him justice, however, here are online links to 21 GB worth of materials (writings, audio recordings, photos, artwork, etc.) that we have been able to access and preserve for your interest and benefit.

To my precious Zee, my sweet E.R., my 24/7 companion, my best friend, my teacher about what life is and what life is for and my spiritual guide, It is the dawning of a new day, the next in our eternal relationship. Thank you for marrying me. You are mine, I am yours. Merged as one. Loving you, holding you close, touching foreheads, providing you welcome in this universe, remembering excursional conversations, napkin notes, dream-sharing, feeding you jello, and pillow talk, eternally, Jenn-Li
