Carmello Zallo was born in Spain on February 14th, 1941. In the late 1960's, he moved to the USA. When he arrived, he began working as a sheep herder in the porter ranch area of California. It was shortly after where he met the love of his life, Zita Perez, who after some time would become Zita Zallo once they got married in 1974.
Carmelo was a devoted family man who loved to have gatherings at his home, where friends and family would gather and enjoy home cooked meals, cheese and wine. Carmelo spent over 40 years working in construction. In his free time, he did enjoy hunting along side his German Shorthaired pointer, Tony.
Carmelo Zallo is survived by his wife, Zita, his sons Eric and Carlos, two grandkids, Nicolas and Alena, his nephews Alain, Segor, and Ruben, and his niece Nerea.
