Dennis Zavinski

In Memory of Dennis M. Zavinski, 1942-2011

One of Dennis' passions was the Portage County Law Library, where he was appointed to the Board of Trustees right after graduating law school. He served as Chairman of the Board beginning in 1984.

In memory of Dennis, the Portage County Law Library was later renamed as the Dennis M. Zavinski Law Library as a tribute to his 36 years of service and tireless efforts on behalf of the Law Library and the Portage County Bar Association.
