Our sincerest condolences to the Roseboro family. Donald aka "Zook" will always remain in our hearts. From the time we were young boys growing into young men, we shared many experiences (learning to be cool, listening to EWF over & over again & others I can't mention) that forged a true friendship. A friendship that included my wife, my kids and my grandkids. In closing, we knew that however far we were apart, we will always share the bond of friends. Larry & Karen Woody
