Bill first met Beany through the sport of pigeon racing many years ago. When I met Liz and some of the Michigan club members, we made fast friends! Over the years we traveled to Michigan for their “Spring Break” shenanigans and some of those folks came down to Chicago for our “Winter Blast”. After that we traveled in a larger group to locations in Texas and Arizona, among others to follow pigeon racing events and parties. It was always so fun to be around Beany, who knew how to have a good time and spread it around! Thank you and God bless you, Beany❤️

Beany was a fierce racing pigeon competitor and will be deeply missed. His knowledge of the sport was unsurpassed. He was a one-of-a-kind character and had so many funny stories to tell. The East Side Members Club sends its collective condolences to the Zelasko Family
