| Harley-Davidson motorcycle on annual trips to Sturgis, South | ||
| Dakota; further, he was an avid sports fan, especially of teams | ||
| competing for The University of Texas at Austin; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Scott Zublin earned the admiration of all who knew | ||
| him, not only for his success as a restaurateur but also for his | ||
| generous spirit and joyous zest for life, and he leaves behind a | ||
