Zeke
Titles are so trivial
Zeke is clearly the brains behind the operation. Design is fine, but what about frisbees and balls? His favorite things about work are barking at the FedEx delivery person and commanding the treat jar. Outside of the office, he prefers running on the beach and surfing, with a nap here and there.
On May 17, 2022, we said our last goodbyes to Zeke. He will remain forever in our hearts.
