James Michael Zak, better known as “Mike”, Chief Zak, Dad, and Grandpa, passed away on Tuesday, March 15, 2022. He was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and is preceded in death by his parents Walter Bernard Zak and Vada Marie Zak. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Gayle Zak; his daughter, Sheila Courtney and husband, Michael; his son, Lewis Zak and wife, Jamie; his sister, Beverly Barnes; his brother, Mark Zak and wife, Donna; his sister, Annette McCurdy and husband, Mark; his brother, Walter Zak and wife, Nancy; his grandson, Aiden Zak; Brother-in-law Glen Maxwell, six nieces, and numerous cousins, great nieces and great nephews. Mike graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1969 and when Gayle came to TJ in the spring of that year, he was love struck the first time he saw her. He was tired of school by then, but he looked forward to 4th period Study Hall, because Gayle was there. Mike was shy and was scared to ask her out. Summer came and went and in September of 1969, Gayle put in an application at the Safeway Store where Mike worked. The store manager asked Mike to pick out some of the job applications because they needed to hire more checkers. Gayle was hired and reported to Mike on her first day at Safeway. Near the end of her shift, Mike asked Gayle if she could work on Friday night and asked You don’t have a date, do you? She said no, she could work. An hour later, Mike came up to Gayle and asked if she wanted to go to Pizza Inn after work on Friday. What was she to say? Gayle had already told Mike, that she didn’t have a date that night. That’s where their love story began.
Mike and Gayle were married on July 11, 1971 and they liked to toast their anniversary with a Slurpee from 7 Eleven. They were married by the Fire Department Chaplain at the Walnut Hill United Methodist Church in Dallas. Mike and Gayle lived in Garland, Texas for 25 years, where they raised their two children, Sheila and Lewis. Mike joined Indian Princess with his daughter and Indian Guides with his son. He was very proud of both of his children and loved them dearly. Having been raised Catholic, Mike made the decision that he wanted to return to the Catholic Church, so on their thirtieth wedding anniversary, Mike and Gayle were married at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano with their two children present. Mike volunteered with Stephen Ministry and served as a sponsor with RCIA. He also started a program at the church, called Catholics, Once and Again, for people like himself who wanted to return to the Catholic Church. He was a very devout Catholic, a loving father and dear husband.
Mike wanted to be a fireman when he was younger and he applied as soon as he was old enough. He was turned down the first time, because he didn’t meet the 150-pound weight minimum. That didn’t stop him, he applied again to the Dallas Fire Department and he finally made the cut at 151 pounds. In January 1971, he started with what is now called Dallas Fire-Rescue, but due to a health issue, he almost lost his job while in Rookie School. Luckily, that didn’t happen and his career took off. He was eager to be the best he could be in his job, always studying for the next promotion and he volunteered to be one of the first EMTs and Paramedics when the ambulances started up in Dallas. He quickly moved through the ranks, working as a Captain at 6’s where he was referred to as “Captain Tidy”. He eventually landed at 1’s as a Deputy Chief, where he stayed for most of the remainder of his Dallas Fire-Rescue career.
He was a leader and a stickler for rules, while endeavoring to be fair. In his 38-year career with Dallas Fire-Rescue, he was well-respected and blessed by the camaraderie of so many who brought great happiness into his life. Dallas Fire-Rescue was Mike’s second family and he was a very proud father when his son Lewis joined the department.
In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that you make a donation in Mike’s name to one of the following organizations or a charity of your choice. Suggestions include: Catholic Charities, The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano (Building Fund), Dallas Retired Fire Fighters Association (Honor Guard).

Mary and Steve Moughalian were married for 65 years, when Mary quietly entered the Kingdom of Heaven on February 5. Steve was not far behind her. He left this world 24 hours and 20 minutes after Mary. No one who knew Mary & Steve were surprised. They lived a love story, often sitting & holding hands. Mary Therese McNulty was born in Pittsburgh, PA on June 17, 1936, the eldest daughter of 6. She is survived by her sister, Margaret “Peggy” Rozanski and brother Bill McNulty. Mary was a star basketball player and she continued to play the sport in the Navy.Steve Moughalian was born October 20, 1936, in Boston, MA. He was the middle child of 5 boys. Steve is survived by his brothers Alfred and Raymond. Mary and Steve met in the Navy. Mary sat in front of him and told stories of how he would try to get answers to test questions out of her. Steve made her laugh. They were stationed in Virginia, and one time Steve borrowed a friend's car to take her home to Pittsburgh. She had no idea he didn't know how to drive! They were married at Saint Mary's of the Mount in Pittsburgh on July 21st, 1956. At that time they were stationed in California, where Mary had their first of five children. Mary and Steve moved back to Pittsburgh following their honorable discharges from the Navy. Steve worked and went to night school, graduating with a degree in accounting. The family moved to the Cleveland area in the summer of 1969. Mary eventually earned her cosmetology license. Steve built Mary a beauty salon in the basement of their home and she made extra money doing hair. Mary became an RN in 1975, which was no small feat as Steve traveled extensively for work and Mary was busy raising five kids. Mary joined the Army Reserves after obtaining her nursing degree. She had a long and distinguished career. In March of 1978 Steve went to Dallas on a business trip, which turned out to be life changing for the Moughalian family. That March day was a Chamber of Commerce day - blue skies and 70 degrees. Steve called Mary and said we're moving to Texas! The family moved to Plano in August of 1978 and Mary stayed behind to sell the house. They put a pool in which Steve aptly named after the Eagles’ song, The Last Resort, and the rest is history! Many amazing memories were made at 6404 Apache Court. They were lifetime Catholics and attended St. Elizabeth Seton since 1978.Steve and Mary loved traveling and were extremely fond of playing slots. It is impossible to put to paper the accomplishments of these two wonderful people. They opened their hearts and home to so many over the years. Mary and Steve’s legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of their children, grandchildren, friends and people whose lives were touched by them. They loved music, family, God and adored each other. Daily they toasted each other with “love you babe”, followed by a kiss.
They are survived by their children: Steve Moughalian, Regina Mitchell, Susan Lepkowski, Maureen Moughalian and Connie Moughalian Garofalo; grandchildren: Sarah Britelle, Adele Angel, Matthew Moughalian, Steven Moughalian, Anna Moughalian, Angela Brown, Michelle Mitchell-Lutz, Nikki Chavira, Ryan Thompson, Adam Thompson and Katie Lepkowski; and 18 great grandchildren.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
