Quentin Marino..Emeritus 1994

In 1968 I received a call to Concordia, Ann Arbor, MI for a position in the music Dept. After teaching at Concordia, Seward for eleven years in the high school music dept. I accepted the call from Dr. Paul Zimmerman/ Concordia, Ann Arbor. As young 'Lutherans' my wife and I were received into the Concordia faculty and this christian community very graciously.
We have always felt that Paul had a great influence in that reception.
He impressed us by the fact that he was truly a 'Servant of God!' In the time I served under Paul as president of Concordia I observed and appreciated the close relationship Dr. Zimmerman had with Concordia's faculty. After he moved on to other responsibilities I still maintained a personal, thought professional relationship' with him and his wife. Many time I had observed him intervening on behalf of the faculty within the Ann Arbor community. Carol and I had an handicapped son and he was instrumental in us getting proper medical attention.
He served our church, set an example for other pastors and was again...a 'dedicated hard working servant!'
May God Bless his family at this time of their loss!

In Christ,
Quentin Marino
