Hello all.
        This posting is a post of prayer and rememberance of 
        Zach Taylor of Mesa AZ.
        Zach was a friend of mine from the day I left Jail and 
        began my journey of recovery.  When I left Jail and entered
        his living environment known as "The House Inc." little did 
        I know that a life long impression would be made on me when
        I got there 7 1/2 years ago.  Zach passed away last night 
        after finding out that he had cancer 1 1/2 years ago and
        losing his son one year ago due to a drownding while fishing.
        Zach has been a great help to many of men in recovery, as he
        showed newcommers how to get their life started over again.
        He specialized in helping clients set and reach their goals,
        discipline, reasurance, and a cast of many other qualities.
        But most of all, He gave people confidence that they could 
        achieve if they could learn to believe in themselves.  
        Many people have tried to copy the type of program that Zach
        and "The House Inc." offers all of the men who come through 
        the doors.  But the reputation that has been built will 
        not in my eyes ever be matched.  
        The house was started in 1988 and I arived Holloween Night
        1989.  The house was having a party for all of its members
        and guests that night.  There were only 55 house members 
        (and two houses) at that time.  Now there are well over 
        180 members (when full).  The reputation of "The House Inc."
        and Zach Taylor extand across the States in many Hospitals 
        and treatment centers.  
        Zach died clean last night with some 13-15 years of recovery
        and working knowledge of the program as well as certificates
        in the related field of work.  
        So when you read this I ask of you to give a special prayer 
        to a Special man who has helped many along the way in their
        Journey into recovery.
                                                Thank you 
                                                   Marty W.
