Richard Valentine Zanoni

To Richard's entire family, please accept our condolences. Dear "Til", It was hard to lose a friend I had since kindergarten. We will all miss him. Carol Diehl Chernoff and the Riverside High School Breakfast Group

My deepest sympathy to the entire Zanoni family! I loved your dad like a second dad and he always treated me like family! I just heard about his passing he was such a wonderful, fun loving man and a great storyteller! I can still hear him practicing his viola as I would stop over to clean his house. I will forever treasure memories with your mom and dad! My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you .

Linda and Family- my deepest condolences to you and your family. Your dad was not only my principal( when I taught @ GBA) but also the father of my dear friend Linda. He was kind, compassionate, funny and a very cool guy! I can just picture him wearing his leather jacket riding his motorcycle! I know he was very proud of you, Linda, and I know you were a wonderful daughter. Take care. Miss T.

My sincere condolences to the family. Mr Zanoni was my 5th grade teacher at 36th Street School. He was the very best!!! Rest In Peace Sir
