Dear Mrs. Zapalla and family,

It is with much sadness that we learned of the passing of Mr. Zapalla. Some of the best memories were growing up with the Zapalla family summertime in Conneaut. Mr. Zapalla was a great influence and I will always remember fondly sitting on his deck overlooking Lake Erie and discussing politics.

An incredible life well lived.

Best regards,
