Thomas Zucchelli Obituary
08/13/1944 - 08/07/2025
Tom Zucchelli, age 80, of Millbrae, California unexpectedly passed away on August 7, 2025. He was born in San Francisco on August 13, 1944.
He was predeceased by his loving parents, Thomas and Lillian Zucchelli and his beloved "brother-in-spirit", John Woodcock (with whom he enjoyed fishing trips and watching 49er games )
"Zuke" grew up in Millbrae and attended St. Dunstan Elementary, and both Serra and Mills High Schools, where he first met and found tremendous pleasure in retaining life-long friendships with so many of his classmates.
He enjoyed many years as a teamster and happily retired from working for Gallo Winery.
Tom - a gentle soul, devout Catholic, loving brother, devoted uncle, caring cousin, and loyal friend - will be sorely missed by all who were blessed to know him.
Deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, he found joy in prayer and peace in the promise of Eternal Life. In addition to his unwavering faith, Tom was known for his quick wit, enjoyable demeanor, trustworthiness, humility, and genuine kindness.
Tom is survived by his sisters, Linda Duimstra and Lorraine Woodcock, along with many nieces and nephews.
The family will hold a private service to honor his memory.
Donations can be made to Catholic Charities or Michael J. Fox Foundation
