Our heartfelt condolences from our family go out to the family of Mr. Zuccarelli.
Our sympathy to Bob's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob in 1974 at A.B.Dick Company and then I worked for him. I always respected him because he moaned and growned a lot, but he had a heart of gold and treated me well. I really enjoyed the pizza reunions over these past years with him and the guys. We would all talk about the good ole days and laugh out loud. He was a great guy and it was a pleasure to have him in my life.
I am sorry for your loss. There is no one like a father - and as I have mourned the passing of my own - even after a long, rich life - so I know you will miss your father. My heart is with you.
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I hope that the wonderful memories that you have of your father will help you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
