Peter A. "Pete" Zampino Jr., 62, of Corinth. TX, died unexpectedly and sadly after a long illness from which he had appeared to be recovering. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut, graduated from Glastonbury High School, and attended Columbus International University in Seville, Spain and Manchester Community College (CT), graduating from The University of Hartford (CT) with a BS in Accounting, cum laude. Pete left Connecticut for Texas upon graduation and lived in several locations before settling in Corinth. Pete was regarded as an international authority on cost accounting and resource management research, and was a recipient of the prestigious CAM-I Robert Bonsack Award. He served on the Board of Advisors and Contributors to the Journal of Cost Management, and was a contributing author to numerous books and articles on cost accounting research, including Target Costing: The Next Frontier in Strategic Cost Management. Pete began his career with Core Laboratories, and held various cost accounting positions with Genstar and ASAP Airfreight before concluding his corporate career as Director of Research for the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing International (CAM-I). Upon leaving CAM-I, Pete formed Zampino Oil LLP, a privately held resources company in Corinth. He had also earned his real estate license. Pete, a true entrepreneur, held deep passions for the art of investing, music, world travel, and a good debate. He was predeceased by his parents Peter Sr. and Jeanne Mary W. Zampino. Pete is survived by his partner Mary Ann Cockrell of Corinth; his stepsons Cody Zampino of Fort Collins, CO (wife Tiffany and son Ryker Michael) and Sam Denny (Dallas, TX); his sister Mary-Jean F. Zampino (San Diego, CA) and his brothers Michael Zampino of Corinth (wife Selena and children Peter A. III, Isabella, Luciana, and Francesca) and Mark of Cromwell, CT (wife Donna and sons Geoffrey and Daniel); many Zampino and Walsh relatives in Ohio and Connecticut; and his beloved Sheltie, Kobe. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30 am on Thursday, November 30th 2017 at St. Mark's Catholic Church, 6500 Crawford Road, Argyle, TX (940-387-6223) with a reception to follow.

To the extended Zampino family, I am sad to learn about Peter's passing. I am so sorry for your loss.
I knew Pete in the early 80s. He was a warm bright young man who seemed to have the world by the tail.
R.I.P, Pete.

To Michael and the rest of the Zampino family, I am so sorry to learn of Pete's passing...so sorry for your loss.
I knew Pete in the early 1980s, and remember him fondly as warm and bright with seemingly everything going for him.
