Zito Family you are in my thoughts & prayers...even though it has been a while since I've been back home & seen everyone, you all are memories in my mind forever. I can always remember running into Uncle Jimmy downtown when I worked at Mercy Hospital. And how he had these wisdom quotes & things....he will be missed so so much. And he is now with Timmy!!!

Zito Family, please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad was a fine gentleman and a kind individual. I am truly sorry for your loss and hope that you can find some comfort and peace in memories.

With Sympathy,

We rebuilt the Infant Jesus statue case Grandpa Zito built that was mostly destroyed in Katrina.

We will miss you Uncle Jimmy.
We know you are with all the loved ones who are already in Heaven, Timothy, Grandpa, Grandma, your brothers Charlie and my Dad Steve and so many more.
You survived so many things such as D Day and lived through such tough times as the loss of loved ones well before their times. Hurricane Karina took all you worked for all your life and interrupted yours and Aunt Josie's well earned senior years. You cared for your wife of 62 years and your children through sicknesses like no other man could or should have to, up to your last days.
You were the last surviving siblng of my Dad and Uncle Charlie and I appreciate the time the Lord gave us with you, way more than the others were afforded in their time here on earth.
We know all your loved ones have prepared a place for your arrival in Heaven. Your legacy will live on here and we will endeavor to be as strong of a man as you, as good of a father as you and as good of a husband as you.
We will place you in the family tomb on Monday. I have personally seen it opened too many times. I pass it nearly every time I am in N.O. I don't know if I was there for Uncle Charlie's burial, because I was maybe a week old. He was the first person Grandpa had to bury, only too soon again to bury my Dad, Steve. You never dreamed you would ever be around to bury Timmy.
We thank the Lord for your time with us and trust you with him. We love you Uncle Jimmy and will miss you. We will help care for those you leave behind as best we can.
Lord, please pray for Uncle Jimmy, his family and friends. We thank you for our time with him and please give him the eternal rest he deserves.

Love from your nephew Stephen Lucien Zito, Jr., my wife Christi Zito, and children Stephanie Theresa Zito, Stephen Lucien Zito, III and Mitchell Paul Zito
