|  | | For Zeke ~~
...the best friend I ever had.
It breaks my heart to type these words, but my dear friend Zeke Feldhaus finally lost his battle with lung cancer. Zeke left us on monday, October 5th, 2009.
Zeke's fight was a private one, because Zeke couldn't stand whiners. The last thing he would have wanted to be seen as was a whiner. He was the ultimate 'tough guy'.
Thinking about Zeke will always make me smile. Anyone who ever had the pleasure of hanging out with Zeke for more than 5 minutes will know that Zeke was the ultimate storyteller. Zeke could go out for a loaf of bread and come back home with a funny story. He had the eye to see just how crazy and funny every part of modern life could be. Fucking guy! I cannot count the number of times he had me "pissing in my pants" (as he would say) over some whacky story. Anyone who ever heard Zeke's tale of the one legged man and his three legged dog will know what I mean.
Zeke was born to be my ally, and his place can never be filled. My whole world is about publishing and seeing my art in print. Zeke was a printer for 30 years. I cannot count the things that Zeke taught me about printing. When I started my publishing career, I was the total babe in the woods who didn't know a thing. Zeke completed my education. A new set of proofs would come in, and Zeke would give them the eagle eye looking over. "Ah, the magenta plate is a little off register."
"What does that mean?" I would ask. From there, Professor Feldhaus would give me a lesson on print registration. Zeke was a fountain of knowledge. He loved to share, and he always did so in a cool, little kid, "guess what I just found out?" kind of way. As my mom pointed out, he never stopped asking questions. For Zeke, the world was full of mystery and wonder. He loved every day and lived life to its fullest.
One of my fondest memories of Zeke happened a few weeks after he quit being a printer. He had been working with me for just a few weeks. As a pressman, Zeke was forced to handle toxic inks and other chemicals. This lead to his fingertips being perpetually blackened. And deadened. After a few weeks away from this, the feeling slowly returned to his fingertips. One morning, Zeke came in with this look of awe on his face. I had to ask him what was up. He said, "Joe, I can't believe it. This morning, I was driving into work, and for the first time in years I could feel the texture on my steering wheel. For years I couldn't feel anything, and I didn't even know it. Thanks so much for that, man."
All I could say was, "hey, thanks for being here."
I loved Zeke. My mom always thought of him as the lost Linsner boy. And he loved my mom. She cried her eyes out when I gave her the news, as we all did. But my mom was able to bring the one ray of light out of the darkness that was Zeke's illness and departure. "At least he's not in pain anymore."
I will miss him eternally. There will never be another.
All of my love and sympathy goes out to Zeke's loving wife Helen, and their son Jake. I will always be there for them.
Zeke, you will be missed far more than you will ever know. I love you.

| | | Joe mostly said it all, but here:
Zeke, I loved him like an uncle or an older brother. He died Sunday. I am devastated at his loss.
But however sad we are, he also left behind a loving family. I can't imagine how Helen, his wife & companion for 40 years, must feel; nor how devastated his young Jake, his 17-year-old son, must be. We should all send them our prayers, mojo & good thoughts; they lost a very kind, funny & decent man; a great husband, friend & father. Helen & Jake, you are still our kin. We won't forget you.
The only good there can be in this is that he died peacefully of a heart attack, & felt no pain. His battle with lung cancer was something he didn't want to talk about & so I am convinced that Zeke would rather be remembered how he lived - full of joy, love, music, nudie art & dinosaurs, Genny cream ale & steak - than how he died.
Zeke gave us so much. He loved each & every fan he interacted with, because he shared their passion. Every single package any one of you received over the past few years was handled by his strong & capable hands. Zeke was also a tremendously good friend; always there with a ready quip or shoulder to cry on.
Our business grew because of Zeke, & Linsner.com owes him eternal gratitude; not just for the friend he was, for the family he was - but for all the hard work & dedication. We will resurface as a store in a few months, but obviously it will take us some time to recover.
When I'm no longer crying, I will update you all about how this will affect the store, eBay orders, orders placed, etc. I'm sorry this will take me a day or two, but obviously we have lost a member of our family. We will try to figure out what orders shipped last, whether other folks are willing to wait a month & change for them to be fulfilled (we have to go to Europe, then move our inventory) or whether those folks would prefer refunds. All I can do is ask for your patience as we recover from missing someone who was the heartbeat of Linsner.com. We were a three-person company, & it's gonna be a struggle until Joe & I sort it all out.
If I hear anything from Zeke's family about anything we can do in his memory - donations to the Cancer Society, whatever they want - I'll let you all know.
Sleep well, gentle Zekey Zeke, oh freaky freak. There will never be another like you.
Love,
Eva

| | | Well, damn...
My thoughts go out to his family, and to you all at Linsner.com that worked with him. Zeke was a great man, and he was incredibly fun to talk to at conventions; I hope everyone close to him is coping.
I wish I had something more classy and inspirational to say. *raises a glass* Here's to Zeke.

| | | OMG. We just shared emails a few days ago. What are the family's wishes as to sending flowers? I'd type more, but I'm lost for words. My prayers and condolence go out to Zeke's family and members and friends of JML.

| | | I have tried to call his family a few times today. They're not getting their phone & they might be either so in grief they can't, or, they might be at his burial (Zeke not being a fussy guy, they have ruled out a wake, or we'd be there too). As soon as I find out what the wishes of Helen & Jake are, I will let you all know.

| | | I am beyond words. I am going to miss that guy like I can't even express. It was Zeke who welcomed me with open arms years ago, and no one made me feel like part of the family like he did. His stories always made me laugh, and in his presence you couldn't help but feel happy & loved. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Helen & Jake, to Eva & Joe... and to the rest of you who were lucky enough to be able to have the honor of knowing such a fantastic guy. Here's to you, buddy ...

My deepest condolences to Helen & Jake for such a profound loss. Also to Joe, Eva, Greg...and as Demmie said, to everyone who had the honor of knowing this fantabulous guy.
I will miss you so much, Zeke, thank you for being my friend. Rest in peace, dollink.

| | | What is there to say?
I had the simple pleasure of meeting Zeke just once, at a Wizard convention in Philadelphia. He was such an outgoing, easy going individual. He was always there in Jersey, an e-mail away, always willing to do his utmost to take care of Joe, Eva and their fans. I will miss him tremendously.
Zeke, wherever your spirit may be, I raise my Genesee Cream Ale to you and send my best wishes to your wife and son. Rest well.

| | | I will truly miss Zeke. Although I've only met him last year I felt like he was a real friend. He was genuinely friendly and caring. He could carry on the best conversations and definitely make you laugh your ass off , that will be the thing I miss most. I will also miss the perfect little packages from my buddy. He was a great guy and definitely knew how to make a fan feel special. My condolences to his family.

| | | Zeke was a hell of a guy. I'd only get to see him for about 15 minutes each year at DragonCon working the booth, around the contest, or at the afterparty. But every time he'd act like I was a long lost friend greeting me with a smile, catching up, asking about my kiddo. And it wasn't just lip service, he genuinally cared and didn't seem like he could even try to hide it. The world has lost one of the good guys.

| | | I never got to meet Zeke in person, but we corresponded sometimes through e-mail and he was one of the friendliest and most genuine people that I've had the pleasure of talking with. When I read the sad news on here it felt like my heart was in my throat and it felt hard to breathe. This is so heartbreaking, but his wonderful legacy will live on through all who knew and loved him. We'll miss you Zeke!

| | | I had the pleasure and honor to have met Zeke in person at the NY ComicCon last year. I would just like to say that he left a memorable impression on me of a highly positive and all around good person. I am quite shocked by this tragic news and I send my prayers to him, his family, and friends.

| | | I was a fucking mess yesterday, as many of us were. I went out and talked to people that didn't know him and told stories and what I remembered and what he meant to me.
He'd frequently say, whenever we were wrapping up a conversation in person or on the phone or whatever, "Greg, I love you man, you know, not that way, but I love you." Or when my old cell phone would accidentally dial Zeke because his name was last in my contact list, and he'd call me the next day saying, "Greg, I love you man, but you gotta stop calling me at 2am." Or the many times we'd share a Genny Cream Ale in a hotel room and talk shit before I'd go out for the night, or every Zekemas where he shunned the attention but was as jovial and awesome as always, his Converse, his visible love for his wife and son, the number of conversations and planning we had while dealing with the 26 Tears project and how much of his time and money he put into that ("Never again!"), or when I'd call him and he was distracted because he was playing video games with his son, or any of the countless other memories that I have of one of the most effusively kind and wonderful men ever to have lived.
This sucks. It fucking, fucking sucks. This world is not supposed to not have Zeke in it. But those of you who knew him know that Zeke was a guy never to be forgotten, and we won't forget. I certainly won't.
Zeke loved to make people happy. It's why we, and you, loved him. So we'll be happy for having known him at all. Just not immediately.
My thoughts are with his family, and his extended family, which is all of you.

I never met Zeke in person though I always wanted to, I've had many conversations with him via phone and email and back in the early days of Linsner.com when we had that yahoo chat up which was so much fun, I really looked forward to those weekly chats Zeke was such a hoot and it really was the highlight of my week back then.
Zeke always took care of us making sure every order arrived safe on our doorsteps and always happy to talk with us about anything, I will truly miss him.
May he rest comfortably in the arms of the Godess snuggling happily against her ample breasts!

| | | I couldn't believe the news when I heard it. Zeke was one of the best guys, he was a load of fun to hang with, to talk to, and he's a wonderful friend. He had a huge heart and you just can't help but love the guy. Joe, Eva, Greg, Tom, Keith, you guys all had the honor of knowing Zeke so much longer than I did and my heart goes out to you guys, and my heart goes out to his family and anyone else here that had the joy of knowing Zeke. We've all lost a near and dear, a beloved friend.
Zeke, I love you, bro. You are missed.
So give me reason to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean

Give me reason

| | | I never got to meet him, but got to appreciate his words and all the sage advice he has given on the boards, and especially the phenomenal job of all the packing he did to make sure every special thing receive from Linsner was "Packed and Shipped with Pride by Zeke." We will all miss you Zeke, and hope you are out there watching over all of the people you touched in Life to help us go on without new words from you, but will be making new conversation that will have "yup, Zeke would have liked that." or "Zeke would have said that too."
Deepest of condolences for the Feldhaus Family and the extended Linsner family, that we are all a bit of a part of in our own way.
Excelsior, Zeke! We will meet again some day.

Joe and Eva, I wish I had the words, I know he was your family too. I am so sorry.

| | | I had to take some time to digest this all after I saw the picture of Zeke, it hit me like a bunch of bricks. Like some I never met the man, I spoke to him once though, I was in college and had a lymph node show up that i needed a biopsy on, i thought my cancer had come back and wanted Zeke to get Joe to sign the 2006 dawn calendar for me, since i thought it would help, and it did it wasn't anything bad! But Zeke was so nice and wonderful to me, and was always active and helpful when i had questions, i just emailed him the other day too, so this really was a shocker to see this. he was always on the boards talking and giving feed back and teasing us with goodies. such a wonderful wonderful man.
My condolences to his family and closest friends, he was a wonderful man and he will truly be missed.

I have quite a few wonderful memories of Zeke, the clearest, most wonderful one being when I finally met my online friend Zeke in person after 6 years of IMing, e-mailing, and message boarding. And I am thankful for that.
He "lived" and always encouraged me to do the same. And for that I am thankful also.
Luv ya, Zeke!!!

| | | I don't have any words that could adequately express how I feel about this news.
Zeke wasn't anyone I'd ever actually met, and we only briefly conversed when dealing with shipping information or auctions.
Despite this level of disconnection, I'd by lying if I claimed this didn't hit me, but that's tribute to the strength of his character and the impression he's left. It may not be much, and I hope it's taken the right way when I say;
Zeke has looked after many of us, at one point in time or another, whether you actually conversed with him or not through the site.
Chances are you've heard praise of his ability to make anything he touched impervious to the damages threatened in the mail or seen gratuitous thanks offered at swift resolution to any problem he solved.
He cared, even for those of us who he might only have known as order numbers.
I can't say I knew the true measure of the man, but from the glimpse of personality offered as merely a customer, I can attest that he was of rare equal, if any, and the world has lost tremendously.
He may be beyond reach, but it is clear even Death itself cannot contain all that he is, and was.
To a good friend in passing: Zeke, we'll miss you. Drinks are on me when the cycle starts again.

I will remember him as a kind, considerate, and funny person. He 's one of the sweetest people I know and considered my buddy. Goodbye my friend.

| | | I saw this and my first thoughts were 'No.. no way. This isn't true. It can't be. Who could play such a cruel joke.'
But as I read on, the tears started to flow, and I realized I lost my best friend
We've never met, but Zeke was always such a sweetheart to me. He encouraged me to join this site shortly after I contacted him about the authenticity of some of Joe's works I found on Ebay.
That was almost a year ago to the day and it was the start of a great friendship.
Being a 'newbie' fan wasn't easy but Zeke was always there.. with laughter, knowledge, and a tremendous spirit.
I remember one instance when I asked him if he could sign my ROTG hardcover. He didn't understand why but he laughed and said 'sure he would'.. and he did. We shared some laughs during that same phone call, and at a moment of insecurity, I asked him if everything was alright (I think I was a bit nervous that he maybe thought I was a bit of a loon to ask him to sign my book) and in his own 'Zeke' fashion he said 'Hon, everything's fine- I still luv ya'. Then we hung up, laughing as usual.
To me, he was and is, The Great Zeke - he 'sparkled' in every type of communication we shared. His knowledge left me awestruck but he never treated me like I was second to him. He always told me how blessed he was and the sincerity in his voice, damn, you knew he was telling the truth.
And it was then that I told him that that's the reason why I wanted him to sign my book... because he was such a special person in so many ways.
My thoughts and prayers are with his cherished family and if there is anything I can do, I will.
Please know, he loved you dearly. He never hesitated to tell me, in one way or another, how much he loved Helen and Jake.
I'm still in shock, disbelief.. I'm going to miss him so damn much.
Zeke.. you will never be forgotten and you will always have a special place in my heart. Until we meet again, my friend.
I love ya, Zekesters.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die.. but real love is forever. ~ Sarah, The Crow.

All I can say I guess is that I will always cherish the times I had a chance to spend with Zeke and will always miss him.

| | | Wow, just logging in makes me think of Zeke, he liked my user name and once asked me where it came from.
*sigh* I think I can do this now that the shock has worn off.
Death is not an end, it's a transformation. Zeke has not left us, it is very apparent by the posts here that he is very very much alive in our hearts and will remain so. I do not think for an instant that he would want us to be sad. Easier said than done. I know that right now I feel helpless, because so many people I love, so many of my friends and some people I have never had the chance to meet are hurting and I am helpless to do anything about it. I'll be okay, I know Death. He's a right out bastard at times. But I can do this. If any of you need to talk email me a dawnwc73 (at) aol (dot) com . We can talk about Zeke or what ever you want. It's just the only way I know how to help right now. And helping makes me happy. And Zeke would want us to be happy.
Love you guys even if I haven't met you...still love ya!

That is so awesome. Greg, thanks so much for sharing that. I burst out laughing when I saw it.
Zeke lived to laugh. He could brighten up a whole room with his laughter.

| | | I talked to Zeke about a month ago. He had called and wanted to confirm my address for my G&G remarque. I called him a little later in the evening and even though he was eating, proceeded to spend about 15 minutes just talking about Linsner art, life, and the remarques. I knew when a package was coming from Zeke that it was bulletproof. I know how much pride he took in his work and I think everyone knew that the goods would arrive safe and sound when "packed with pride by Zeke." My thoughts are with his family and with Joseph and Eva.

| | | Thanks, Greg. That photo says a lot about a man I was surely unfortunate to never have met. Who couldn't love a guy like that?
How unbearably sad it must be for those of you lucky enough to call him friend.
I'm so very sorry.

| | | It took an action like this for me to post to a message board. Although after reading everything that has been posted I was was moved to express the feelings and thoughts that everyone's stories brought forth.
First and foremost Zeke you are and always will be the most interesting and fun guy I have ever met. Joe and Eva and all of the Linsner Team I feel for your loss. My condolences go out to the Feldhaus family for their loss of the greatest men this world has ever seen.
The Linsner world spun me up into a web I never wish to be removed from. I am one of the backstage managers for the Dragon*Con Dawn Look-a-Like contest. I started this about eight years ago and I have no plans on stopping anytime soon. It was on this night that I met Zeke and he saw this crazy kid trying to get a handle on everything going on and learning the process. I remember talking to Zeke that night and going from my head spinning to laughing my ass off for the next 20 minutes. Zeke made me laugh and calm down making the rest of the show move like a breeze. It wasn't until the next night that I had know who Zeke was and after that every year I always took a few minutes out of the show to talk and catch up with Zeke. I love every year of seeing the Linsner team and enjoying the convention and I will say that there was a different feel to this year since I was unable to talk with Zeke.
I can't believe that he is gone and it saddens me to think about it but at the same time I have to laugh because that smiling mans face comes to mind and it makes me smile. To everyone who knew Zeke will understand this. Zeke you will be missed and I know that you will be looking down on us everyday with that great smile lighting up our days.

| | | I can’t believe Zeke is gone. I am completely stunned by this news.
I remember the first time I talked to Zeke over the phone well. I had been ordering from Linsner.com since day one, and I asked Zeke via e-mail if he had any of the original Cry For Dawn issues because I was having trouble tracking them all down in my area. He told me it was all too complicated to type out, so he would give me a call to discuss it. We talked for quite a while, and we had a great conversation about collecting. I remember him trying to ask me if I needed a San Diego Subtle Violents, and because of his thick Joisey accent I had trouble understanding what he was asking me. It’s funny because over the years I became so used to it I hardly noticed Zeke had an accent.
I met Zeke in person for the first time at Dragon Con 2003. At this point I was just another customer to Zeke. I remember going up to the table and introducing myself to Zeke. Zeke exclaimed in typical enthusiastic Zeke style “Mr. Benshoof!” and shook my hand vigorously. I was struck by not only the fact that he knew who I was just by my first name, but he even pronounced my name correctly! (A rarity I assure you.) That was Zeke in a nutshell though, always kind, always making you feel like an honored guest. He treated every fan like he wanted to be treated.
I don’t even really remember how our friendship really started. It was so natural and organic that by the end of 2003 we were talking constantly. I had never clicked so well with another person (Outside of my wife of course.) in my entire life. It was like Zeke and I were separated at birth. I have pretty much talked to Zeke every day since then. There was never a lull in our conversations. We talked about anything and everything.
Zeke was my best friend.
I have never met anyone like him, and there’s never going to be anyone like him to fill this giant hole that he’s left. He was one of the most unique human beings I’ve ever known. I’ve spent some of the best times in my life with him. Laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe, tears streaming down my face. You couldn’t have asked for a better friend than Zeke. He literally would have given you the shirt off his back. He was filled with a sincerity that I’ve rarely encountered in my life. One of the things I am so grateful for is the fact that we were never afraid to tell each other how important our friendship was.
Zeke loved so many varied things, and filled his life with them. I’ve never known anyone with such eclectic tastes! He loved everything from Victorian furniture and antiques, to the Aliens movies, video games, and of course Linsner art. He truly was a renaissance man. He often asked me if I got bored hearing him talk about furniture, and my answer was always “no”. He was such a great storyteller, he could make the most inane subject matter riveting.
He loved his life, his house his friends and family. He would say just about every weekend, and I quote: “Keith, I love my life!”. He loved his wife Helen and their son Jake more than anything in the world. I’m going to be grieving for the loss of my friend for a long time to come, but it does offer me some small comfort that he was so happy in his life. You can’t mourn a life not lived to the fullest when it comes to Zeke. He had a family he adored, a house he couldn’t have been more proud of, and a job that he loved.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Helen and Jake. I know there’s nothing I can say that will ease their loss.
Here’s to ZEKE. He is a prince among men. Rest easy my friend.
I’ll cherish our friendship always… love ya dood.
Keith

My heart and deepest condolences go out to his family and friends and all who were lucky to have met him. The world will definitely be a darker place without our Zeke.
I will miss you greatly Zeke.

| | | So heartbreaking and painful.
Met Zeke in the early 90's as we stalked Joe at NY area conventions and JC Comics signings. Some of my fondest memories of Zeke are of us "fanboys" from back in the day waiting in line to talk to Joe and get him to sign, or holey moley, sketch a little something on our treasures. We swapped art and shared our passion for Joe's work as we watched his style evolve.
I remember when Zeke called to tell me he was a member of Team Linsner and described the art he had an opportunity to see in the flesh, baby! We were like a couple of giggly little girls on that call (sorry dude, had to call it as it was!)
And hey man, I thought I was the only one you said "I love ya man, but not that way" to : )
RIP, raise hell, do your thing...I miss ya man!!! This sucks so bad!!!

| | | Wow. We lost touch a while ago due to some personal stuff on my end, but I always loved Zeke like a big brother or REALLY cool uncle. He was just an amazing guy. I am having a hard time believing this... I don't really even know what to say. I will definitely miss him. I think Joe said it right; this world was not meant to not have Zeke living in it. <3

| | | Like Rob, I had met Zeke at JC Comics back in the mid 90's.
I thought that was was great for him when he got the job
with the Linsner team. It seemed as though it was a dream job
for him, one which he took seriously. (Packed with pride by Zeke)
I'm going to miss going over by his house
(it is a Linsner shrine with all of the art he has) to pick up the
latest stash of stuff he had for me.
I could not believe what I was reading when I signed onto Linsner.com
tonight. When I told my wife what happened, she said "WHAT??"
She only met Zeke one time, but left an impression on her because
of how nice he was.
I'm going to miss ya, Z.

| | | Damn...Damn...Damn...
I'm absolutely stunned and saddened as the rest of us are by this news. It was Joe's art that drew me to Linsner.com, but once I started ordering from the site it was how Zeke made everyone here feel not only special, but one of the family as well that kept me coming back.
It was actually because of Zeke that I went to my first con, here in Pittsburgh several years back just to stop in and introduce myself as he had asked me to do. As Keith mentioned previously that Zeke did with him, Zeke called out my name as I approached the table which surprised the hell out of me as we'd never met in person before. We talked a little about Joe's work, but quickly went onto discussing what life is like trying to raise teen aged sons which we had in common.
After that Con, we kept in touch via email for the most part and he never failed to make me feel like one of the family no matter whether I was ordering anything or not.
I looked forward to each April, heading back and seeing him, Joe and Eva again to get caught up.
I remember him calling me shortly after last year's Dragon-con and we talked while he was getting ready for dinner at home. He said how much fun it was to finally have the chance to meet our dear Poppy in person and how much fun he had re-experiencing the whole D-con experience from a new perspective again through her.
That was Zeke's ultimate gift.... No matter who you were here and how much you ordered (or didnt), you were treated as family and he genuinely listened to what we had to say..not only about comics, but life in general.
Zeke, my friend, you really were one of a kind. A kind soul with a very rare gift and all of lives here are better for having known you. You may be physically gone, but doode, you will certainly live on in many of us here in our stories and memories.
May you rest in peace and my thoughts and prayers to his family left behind.
I think Dawn just shed a fourth tear....

| | | I have tried to start this post several times now without luck, so I took the night away from it and will try again.
The message on the front page yesterday caught me very much of guard and it took a little while to realize why it had such an impact on me.
Like many of you I unfortunately never had the chance to meet Zeke in person, I never spoke with him on the phone and we never chatted. All communication between us where mails and most of these mail threads came from me wanting to place an order, checking if he might have some goodies hidden away that he would be willing to part with or something similar (you know how it is).
My first active contact with anybody in the extended Linsner community was a mail sent to Zeke asking about shipping to Sweden (during the Winter Sale of 2006), he answered promptly (despite being on vacation!). While we where mailing back and forth to determine items and shipping cost I was forced to leave for Denmark as my father had fallen quite ill (the after-effects of a cancer he was operated for 10 years earlier) and was in the hospital. I wrote Zeke that I had to leave for Denmark and if I didn’t answer for a while it wasn’t because I didn’t want to. While on my way to Denmark my dad died in the hospital and that obviously caused some delay in getting back to Zeke. When I had a chance to get back to him I explained the reason for the delay. He replied with condolences that felt so honest and true that I’d almost thought we had known each others for years and had met several times. Over the next 2½ years where I was lucky enough to have some mail conversations with Zeke, I discovered that that was just the way he was!
So reading about Zeke yesterday ripped up in a lot of memories and was most likely the cause for me not being able to express myself the way I wanted (still not sure I have been able to but this is it for now).
My deepest condolences to Zeke’s family, everybody at Linsner.com and all of you that had the pleasure of knowing Zeke (no matter on what level)!

| | | I'll admit that I didn't get to talk to Zeke too much. I really only spoke to him during Dragon*Con 2008, but I remember him being very friendly and speaking to him for a good few minutes on that Monday when I was going around saying my goodbyes to people. I really missed not seeing him at Con this year as a result.
I think what I'll remember and miss the most is receiving his bomb proof packages. It was always a challenge with a worthy result at the end.
We'll miss you, Zeke.

| | | Wow...
I read Joe's post minutes after he posted and couldn't believe it...it's taken me until now to gather my thoughts. Thank you to all who have posted to share memories of Zeke -- it allows all of us to feel just a little closer in shared grief.
Zeke was one of those special people that made you feel confortable as soon as you met him. You only had to speak with him for a short while before feeling like you've known him a lifetime. He and I only met face to face on a few occassions, but each time he greeted me like a long lost family member returning home. He will be missed.
To Joe and Eva and the rest of the LdC crew, my heartfelt empathy for your loss...I cannot imagine your pain.
To his wife any son, mere word cannot assuage your grief, but know Zeke wan loved by many, and be consoled by the wonderous memories of the times spent with him.
To his friends and acquaintances in LdC land, let us raise a glass and remember how he touched us all.
And to Zeke...may you find that glittering plain where big-breasted women greet you with cold Genny Cream and pain is long forgotten. Save a chair for me and keep a glass full, too, for we will meet again, my friend.

| | | Oh my God is what I said out loud when I read the news.
Zeke was a blessing to these boards.
Also for Joe.
I remember earlier this year, when I asked Greg to ban me--
Zeke emailed me and told me kind of like this:
"John you can't leave. You're a fixture here. Did you let them
fuck with your head?!"
Zeke, I believe you are with God right now reading this message.
Along with alls messages to you in Heaven.
Zeke I can't believe you're gone.
You live on in past threads!
If you don't reply Zeke--I'll understand as will all of us that you're too busy.
You're The Point Man of Linsner.com forever.
Zeke thank you for being a nice guy to me.
Zeke is with The Great One=God.
...You looked!

What month was Zeke born on?
My mother shares Zeke's year of Birth.
Did Zeke see his 60th Birthday?
Joe, I understand Zeke was like a favorite
Uncle to you. Joe, I'm sorry for your loss.
Same to Zeke's wife Helen.
Zeke was a John Wayne of sorts right?
I don't know.
All I know is Zeke was always respectful to me.
As well as to all!
Zeke you rocked these boards!
May you be booging in the Great Beyond!!
...You looked!

| | | I sit and type this in a state of shock. I first met Zeke way back before he worked for Joe, at a New York, or New Jersey Comic Con. We were both rabid fans of Joe's work, and had that in common. We would talk sometimes over the phone for an hour or more, the time flew by when we did. He once invited me to his home, and we spent the day talking about Joe and his work. His wife and son were extremely nice, and truly made me feel welcome.That was the only time we spent together outside of a comic con, the telephone, an email, or the LDC chat room. I know it's silly, but I was always a bit jealous when someone else had Zeke's attention, and of his better friendships than our own. He was still a wonderful friend to me, probably my best friend at times, although I know he had much better friendships than ours, but I didn't. He was very generous with his time and his home. I still remember when he told me he was quitting his printers job, and going to work for Joe ! Wow, to think that was nine years ago ! Zeke just sent me a LDC package several days ago, I can't believe he's gone. I , like most of the rest of us here, had no idea he was ill, and can't believe he wouldn't want the support of all of his friends, but I understand his decision of privacy because I know him, and he wouldn't want the attention and pity. Zeke.........I miss you already......

i joined here in nov of 2001 and remember posting questions and getting repsosnes from zeke and then just a online friendship grew, joining the chatrooms in the early days talking about whatever, music, movies, and of course his uber love for Joes work..
zeke was one of the first few people here on the boards i told about my disability and it did not matter to him. still treated me with respect and love as any family memeber would, He will be missed..

| | | Zeke was one of the sweetest and most endearing people I've met in comics. When I began my acquaintance with Joe and his coterie of friends and fans through my relationship with Eva, Zeke went out of his way to be warm and embracing, which is no small favor to a guy who feels anxious about embarrassing himself in front of strangers. He was a genuine character, a nut, and I felt very comfortable talking with him. He was also a fan of my own art, which, with his ready access to the Linsner museum, always flattered me.

| | | I can't even believe he's not here. My deepest condolences to Helen, Jake and everybody in the Linsner world.
He was the kind of neighbor that everybody wishes for. Happy, funny, genuine; we were best friends instantly. We worked on many projects together. Always there to lend a hand, he always seemed to have the exact tool I needed in his garage... Great with my kids... Always plowed the sidewalks for all of the neighbors...
We spoke almost every day, and it was never just smalltalk. We spoke of the most important things in life; our shared interest in comic books, monsters and boobies.
I'll never forget when I first moved in 7 years ago and I found out that he was the Point Man for Linsner. My jaw dropped (and never went back up). And then I saw the inside of his house. A veritable treasure trove. A paradise for guys like us. Here's the coolest and most amazing dude I have ever met, and I get to live next to him!!
My home office window overlooks the back of his house. It was always comforting to look out and know that as long as the grass was still green, the sky was still blue, and Zeke was out in his backyard, that all was right in the world...
So, so much more than a neighbor; a best friend. I love you Zeke!!!

| | | I use to be very active on these boards. My first Dragon Con in 2004, I was standing in line to meet Joe, Zeke, and Eva for the first time. The line was a pretty good size and I was somewhere near the back. Before I can introduce myself to anyone, Zeke sees me and walks up to me. "Tim!" and puts his arm around me. Took me right up front to meet everyone, go behind the table and chat, hang out, and take some pictures.
First time I ever met these guys and he made me feel like a rock star. Truly one of the friendly and most genuine people I've ever come across. Dragon Con and my inbox will never be the same. My condolences to everyone.

I had the pleasure of meeting Zeke a couple of times over the years and corresponding with him a few times via email.
Zeke was a great guy and there will never be anyone else quite like him.

| | | I still lurk these boards everyday, and when I saw about Zeke's passing I was stunned! It has taken me this long to post because the shock is still huge and I tear up a little everytime I see this. That being said, I never met Zeke, I never saw him at a con, because I have never attended one. Yet it still feels like I have lost. When the fan comic for Joe was being put together, I was lucky ehough to be allowed to contribute and spoke to Zeke briefly, I had e-mail correspondence a couple of times concerning orders, he was the embodiment of care and kindness in his treatment of me and sent love with each ond everything he sent out. The love and commitment he had to Joe and Eva and to us the fans makes me grieve for what those who were lucky enough to have a personal relationship with him have lost. The comments in this thread are a testament to what he meant to all he touched. To his wife and son, my deepest sympathies for your loss and hope your memories soften your grief. To Joe, Eva and Greg my sympathies as well, losing a friend like that can never be replaced, and though he was a memeber of the "team" it is obvious he was SO, SO much more, a brother, a best friend and support of the highest degree......candles are burning and loving energy being sent to you all....and Zeke, give Goddess a kiss for us all, Blessed be!
Karma is natures way of maintaining balance, by any means necessary!

| | | I had the great honor to meet Zeke once at Dragon Con about four years ago. I got him to autograph my book of his picture in The Art Joeseph Michael Linsner. He was quite over whelmed that I wanted his autograph which I got the sense that he was not used to. Zeke and I over the past few years knew each other over the phone quite well and there was not anything that he would do for me regurading my orders or anything else, even going out of his way if that ment what it took to get things rite. As Eva said his Red Convers will be hard to fill and will be missed a grate deal..TO THE BEST POINT MAN EVER...My thoughts and prayers go to Team linsner and Zekes Family, I will miss you as many of others will as well!

| | | My love and sympathy to Zeke's wife Helen, and son Jake. I am so sorry everyone, but I am just at a loss of words. All I can say is that I know he is in a place where he will never feel pain again and will always be carefree. He will always be in my prays when I feel I am having a bad moment and remind myself , I should not whine and value my life as I am here in this Life. I don't think I can say anything to make anyone feel less pain, Honestly everyone tells us time makes it go away , but I think it don't. I still mourn the lives of my loved ones. Well everyone Take Care. I will keep his Family, JML and everyone else in my prayers at this time of mourning or celebration of Life. Which ever you do, I choose to celebrate first and mourn later.

| | | News of this breaks my heart. Zeke was always such a sweet and fun-loving guy. I got the pleasure to hang out with Zeke many, many times over the years, at comic cons. I'll never forget one of the time I saw him at his birthday party in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. Joe, Zeke and I were telling stories about mice and snakes, and Zeke got so red-faced embarrassed telling the tale of how he ended up feeding baby chicks to his snake (because as Joe put it, his "snake" was eating chicks) It was hilrious at the time, and I guess you had to be there.
And when I'd get packages from L.c in the mail with the "Packed with Pride by Zeke" stickers on them, it would be Zeke I would thank for packing them so well...
This is such a shock, I had no idea he was even sick. Zeke had told me one time that he felt so lucky, because he loved his job and his home life so much. He said that he truly felt blessed. He will always be remembered as the wonderfully sweet man that he was. My condolences go out to his family Helen and Jake, and also his best friends Joe, and Eva and the rest of the L.c team.

| | | I check Linener.com every morning when I'm having breakfast - nice way to start the day. I couldn't beleive it when I saw the post about Zeke...
Zeke was the man!
I didn't know Zeke as well as some others who post here, but I could tell that he cared. My orders from Linsner.com always contained a personal message from Zeke to me.
When I moved from NY to TX, my biggest concern was moving my collection of Linsner originals. How should I package them so they don't get damaged? How should I insure them in case they got "lost" on the moving truck? I didn't know what to do, so I emailed Zeke to ask, and he took the time to call me back. We had a long conversation and then he followed up by preparing a certificate stating the value of my Linsner collection. That certainly went beyond the call of duty, but you knew that Zeke did it because he loved it.
And that is the thing I will always remember about Zeke - you always got the sense that he really enjoyed his time at Linsner.com and he always enjoyed helping the people he met as a result...
Zeke was the man - I'll miss him.

| | | I first met Zeke back in '01 (I think) at a convention in NYC. He was at Joe's table, doing his thing, helping out. I was just finishing up a conversation with Joe and Joe was handing me a commissioned Dawn sketch he'd done for me during the show. I had the sketch in my possession for about three seconds when Zeke seemingly materializes out of thin air and asks me, "Wow, may I take a look at that?". I handed over the art and he delicately took hold, examining it closely, inches from his face, like there was some hidden code within the lines of the drawing. I was thinking to myself, Who is this freaky dude drooling all over my brand new Dawn Sketch??? as he gently handed it back to me like he was cradling a newborn with the biggest, most genuine smile on his face. "Man, she's a beauty! Enjoy it!", was all he said. Then I knew, this guy was alright. A kindred spirit. Wow, he's as into Joe's art as I am! 
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
I know I speak for dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, when I say we will remember him often, and fondly.

| | | I am stunned, and so, so, sorry to read this news. My heartfelt condolences to Helen and Jake. It was only last week that Zeke and I IM'd, rather shorter that the usual 1 hour session whilst we tried to get our webcams workings and boosted our phone bills when we gave up. Fuck, this news hurts. We'd talk all sorts of crap, usually ending up on Lost or beer, or when I could drag him over the pond to visit us. I think I can count on one hand the number of genuine people I have met in this business, and Zeke would be number one. Sorely missed would be a massive understatement.

Zeke was truly one of a kind and even though I hadn't spoken to him in quite a while I have some great memories with you, bud. Road trips with Adam into New York for those old comics shows, and Zeke's smiling face coming in to JC Comics every week. Rest in peace man.

| | | Gang:
I want you all to know that I went to NJ for Zeke's memorial service, to represent all of us of his Linsner.com family. I'm sure Helen & Jake would have welcomed each one of you there, but let's admit it, so many of us loved Zeke that his biological family might have been lost in a crowd..so I totally understood & respected her wishes to keep things private.
The service was very small, & not too long, & very moving. I think Zeke himself would have approved. Joe was honored to be asked by Helen to retool his lovely writing above into a eulogy, which he did. There were just a few readings, some tears were shed, & stories & hugs were exchanged after. As Webmaster Greg mentioned in another thread, our Zeke was laid to rest wearing a denim jacket, his trademark red Converse hi-tops, jeans & a Cry For Dawn tee shirt. The weather was gorgeous that day, though it immediately rained the next - almost as if the gods/fates/etc wanted to give Zeke a nice sendoff. Of course, I wound up crying my eyes out.
Zeke used to claim, each Zekemas (party held for him @ Pittsbrugh con to celebrate his birthday) that he hated the attention; his picture on the website, folks milling around him drinking Genny & Guiness chocolate cake in his honor. But I think those of us that knew him well knew he secretly liked having a small fuss made over him, that he liked knowing how much we loved & appreciated him.

| | | Wow, this is an Epic Loss for us all! The good thing is he is no longer suffering.
Zeke, you were a really great guy. Wish that we had been able to spent
more time together. I was truly upset that you were not at the JML
Dragon*Con table this year, and that we were not able to have lunch.... My exact words, "It is not Dragon*Con without Zeke!" Thanks for
your friendship and advice. Maybe one day we will still have that
lunch, till then take it easy, and stay sharp!

I do hope that none of the JML crew at the table that day took offense to that, I did say it kinda sharp, but I was looking forward to having lunch with him.
Its just another bag of chips!

| | | I was very shocked as well to find our dear friend Zeke having lost his battle to cancer. The very first time that I had met Zeke was in Philadelphia and on one of Joe's first visits to his old stomping grounds in JC Comics, I was blown away and how cordial to meet a guy like Zeke. Great guy, lovely family. I rarely post in this website. Having to know now that he is no longer hurting and waiting when our turn comes up, there are many a times that he'll have a story all brewed up for us to listen to. My condolences to the Feldhaus family and his second, the Linsner team.

Thanks Zeke

| | | I am totally sure there were a hundred letters like that..little freebies Zeke gave you all that maybe Joe & I didn't always know about..good for him. He made friends with you all & brought joy into the world. He was & ever will be "the man!" I'm glad for anything & everything he gave & shared w/ you guys.
"Feldhaus! What is best in life..?"
Ya know, many is the time on the phone that Joe & I have moaned to each other, "Don't wanna go!" to each other, about Europe*. Zeke is gone, & we're supposed to go off over the sea, & have fun without him. I really looked forward to the stories we were gonna bring back to share with Uncle Zeke.
But Helen told us to go to Belgium, & raise a Belgian ale to Zeke. & she said to try to have fun. Well..ya gotta listen to Helen. I kind of wish it was at any other time. But Belgian ale..think I can handle that.. My mom is from Bochum, you know, where the store signing is. (Link coming later today.)
-- salutes --
* = European fans/shows: this is nothing personal. We're both just messed up about Zeke, is all. Still very excited about meeting the great fans in Europe..!

| | | I am having trouble believing that my/our friend Zeke has passed on! I never knew what he'd been battling, but in a way I'm not surprised he didn't share that with me/us...
Zeke is a dear friend of mine as well - sending me great notes, a card when my daughter was born from he and his family, he was there on IM with jokes, anecdotes on life, and just the joy of sharing life's perceptions with a friend! I respected and admired my friend Zeke quite a bit, and was always inspired by his great love of life, and most of all his love of wife Helen and son Jake.
I thank the Goddess that I had the opportunity to call him Friend! Blessed be, Zeke!
With Love,

| | | got a minute spare at last-Finally got to read what Joe +Eva had had to say..My life is in chaos-but thats almost normal for me..The one thing that stays 'there' the whole time,is the thought of one of my favourite conversationalist's being gone.We didn't know each other,yet through such a simplistic thing as a comic book-me,a fan,+he a helper(Which I assume mysta meant he liked joe's work!) came to swap comments on the state of the world,the meaning of the #42,etc.Yet I never knew he had the big 'C'..what did Joe say? He didn't want to be seen as a whiner?Fat F'ing chance. I lost my head for a week or so,and did'nt make it to the library to check my emails.This happens-one day I'll buy a computer and it wont,but that's neither here nor there-what I was trying to get at was a more lucid way of saying what I meant when I heard the news-II thought it was a joke-til I clicvked the link.that week I'd received the last ever thing that'll ever bear that wee sticker,with zeke in the viking horns..
I was tryna say something-yeah-I've written about 3 postcards this last week-havent sent any of them.Addressed to Eva,Helen +Jake,Robb Horan,it gets wierder.My postcards are all personally written-they are all anti-religion polemics,with my email and tattoo/ebay name/description on them,accompanied in each case by a diatribe against monotheism in all it's forms.I flypost poster's reading "Bible.Koran.Lies."one word at a time ,downward. .they are supposed to make people thimk,and hopefully make them feel happier about life.But-when it comes to Zeke's death-I just cant send em.

| | | It has taken me a few days to write this because when I found out a few days ago that my friend Zeke had passed I was unable to do anything much at all.
I had first met Zeke as a customer. I used to set up shop at various conventions in Queens, and Manhattan, and Zeke would come by and buy cards and comics from me on occasion. He was a huge fan of Cry For Dawn and we would always be looking for any Dawn chase cards or limited edition CFD comics I had for sale. We both had like interests!
Later on he had told me that he landed a dream job, that Joe had hired him, he was ecstatic, and I was very happy for him, I knew that Joe had hired the perfect employee.
There are few folks that I have met in the industry that I called a true friend and Zeke was one of them. A great man with an even bigger heart. I will miss him a great deal.
I hope everyone will join in and send Eva what they can to Zeke's family.
Take Care.

| | | I've been away for some time now, and just this evening learned the news. I used to spend an inordinate amount of time in these forums and often it was Zeke that would diffuse a hostile conversation I had started or wandered into.
Zeke had a rare gift for somehow being universally loved, probably because he seemed to be universally loving. To say he will be missed would be a grand understatement, but fortunately he had such a strength of character that his spirit will certainly live on.

| | | This is devestating news to hear. My words fail me right now. I never knew zeke as well as some others but the many times I delt with ordering things off linser.com he was the best. Only knew him online but even here his caring nature was felt. What he did for my husband first deployment when I ordered a print shipped for x-mass. I'm not sure he knew how much that ment to us. I appolagize for any typos I am writting this on my phone and with tears in my eyes. Thank you Eva for letting his family know how much he ment to us all. The world lost a great person and heaven just got a little better. Good bye Zeke you are and will always be deeply missed.
