Nick and I were classmates at the LAPD academy class 1-75. God bless his soul.

Just learned of Capt. Zingos' death. Very shocked and saddened. I emailed him when he was an LAPD Lt. to see if we could trade patches and other 'swag' from our departments. He was VERY generous and sent many items which I have to this day. I always promised him that if I ever made it to LA, I would be knocking on his door. In turn, I told him he would be welcome at my house any time if he traveled north. Regrettably, I never made it down to LA nor met Capt. Zingo in person - sadly I never will. From what I know of him, he was a good person and reflected well on the LAPD and his family.

I went back to college at 60 and Professor Zingo was my first professor for an online class called Anatomy of a Murder. He was so encouraging and full of passion for his subject matter. He made me want to learn more and always question my research and delve deeper into subject matter. I was fortunate enough to meet him in person one day and just adored him. He loved his students, his classes and was so enthusiastic about life. He will always hold a special place in my heart!

He was the best criminal justice professor in Moorpark College. The last two semesters with him have been the most memorable. I will never forget what I learned from him. Thanks for everything professor! Rest in peace.
