On the memories that he cherish most was his 92nd birthday party which was given by Miss Ruth Goin. The climax of the party was the reading and presentations by pastor Willie Forman---congratulation from President Carter and Mrs. Jimmy Carter, Mayor Tom Bradley, State Public Utilities Commissioner Leonard M. Grimes, Jr., whose parents lived in his home when Leonard Jr., was 13 months old. Mr. Zanders served on the Usher, Trustee and Steward Boards, financial committee and many other departments of the church. Mr. Zander served and supported his church well. He endured his failing health and suffering in praises and thanksgiving to God for all the many blessing that has been his throughout his life.
His final words to the dear friend of the family, Ms. Shirlene Orange were " I am dying, as I float, I feel the love and peace of Christ in my heart. He departed from his life on Thursday, May 17, 1984. If he could speak he would say Death was a blessing because he was ready when it would come.
