This may well be late, but I rarely hear about anyone over here in Pennsylvania. Still, I am most saddened by Pr. Zimmann's passing. He and I got to know each other when he was in Zanesville, where he was a great help to me during those years. My condolences to the family, and my prayers and praises for his ministry.
