Seattle, Washington
Cristofaro Zappoli passed away in Seattle, Washington. The obituary was featured in The Seattle Times on August 2, 2009.
After all these years, my love and fondness for Luccio & Sylvia is palpable and on the surface, never retreating. Sylvia was a great mentor and friend in my first two years of teaching. Luccio was a great bringer of joy, laughter and acceptance. Christina-always love and fun. Thinking of all of you!

He had such a zest for life and loved people! I miss him as he always made me smile, and was so positive and full of joy! He loved his family, and was a pleasure to have met him at the Festa Italiana and through the loving Croce family!

Dear Silvia and Cristina:
I was sitting in my study in Albuquerque this morning when my eyes jumped to the bookshelf where stood the marble bookends, that my friend Luccio made for me just prior to my departure from Sicily. It reminded me of my ongoing dedication to find my friend and how much I have missed our relationship since Carolina, Pelu, Derek and myself departed Sigonella, Catania and our entire Zappoli family in 1972. I could never talk about my military service without...

Sylvia and Cristina - I still remember my times with my friend Luccio and the family and the many Sunday dinner at Mom and Dads before I went off to work at Sigonella. You all treated me like family. I have never forgotten those days, I hold them dear. I am sorry to hear that my buddy Luccio is gone. I wish you and the family my warmest thoughts. - Wes

I'm sorry to be so late with this Sylvia.
It has to happen to all of us, but I didn't expect such a lover of life that Luccio was, to have been struck down so soon.
My prayers and thoughts of his life when I knew him, are for you.
