Posting on Ancestry.com by Catherine L. Best, 12 Sep 2000: "My grandfather, Frank Zaccagnini, was born in 1915, and died in 1998. I never got to meet him or any of my real family. I have a picture of him though. If there are any of my relatives out there, I'd really like to know my family history."

Posting on Ancestry.com by Deborah Davidson, 15 Oct 2000: "I just read your post about your grandfather Frank Zaccagnini, and I think he was my grandmother's brother! The patriarch of the family, also Frank Zaccagnini (born 13 Jan 1873 in Italy, died 1 Feb 1916 in Kansas City, MO) and Anna Josephine DuVicchio Zaccagnini (born 19 Mar 1881 in Italy, died 16 Oct 1958 in Chicago, Illinois) had seven children. He was a coal miner (died of black lung at 43) and they moved all over the country. The oldest son, Anthony was born in Italy. James S. Vincent Zaccagnini was born in New Mexico, Julia M. Zaccagnini Hemmingway (she married a relative of Ernest) was born in Illinois. Michael Zaccagnini and my grandmother, Mary Ann Zaccagnini Prombo were born in Colorado. Frank Zaccagnini was born in 1915 in Kansas City, Missouri, as was Ann J. Zaccagnini Turk. When the father died, most of the children were sent to live in other homes and orphanages because Anna could not care for them by herself. My grandmother settled in Morris, Illinois, and lives in Aurora, Illinois and just turned 87 in August. I think she is the last surving child. "

Posting on ancestry.com by Kayla Zaccagnini, 26 Dec 2000: "My name is Kayla and I think that my husband might be a relative. His name is Brent and we have two daughters, Jessica (18) and Alyssa (17) we live in Ottawa IL, his dad's name is James Vincent Zaccagnini Jr. James' father's name was James Vincent also and he passed away in 1993. He lived in Marseilles IL. And I believe that he was born in New Mexico. James Senior had 5 kids, Vivian who died I believe in 1980, Ernie who died in the early 1990's, Jim who is 63 and lives in Naplate IL, Jerry who lives in Marseilles who is about 58, and Julie who is 50 lives in Ottawa. Then there is Herbie who lives in Kansas MO who is Jim's (63) cousin. I am going to pass this along to Julie and James and maybe they can give you some more information."

Posting on ancestry.com by Shelley Zaccagnini-Wheatland, 26 Dec 2000 10:12AM: �Hi - I'm one of James Vincent's grandkids. My dad, James Jr., received an x-mas card from Mary Ann Prombo - she keeps in touch with him around the holidays. My dad went down to Frank's funeral in 1998. Also, we had a reunion at our house in 1992 or 1993 (I'll check with my dad on that) and Frank's two boys - Gary and Jimmy - also attended as did Frank. We still keep in touch with Michael's son Herb who lives near Kansas City, Mo. We live in Ottawa, IL which is where Grandpa Zac (James Jr.) settled (Marseilles, IL) near Joliet and Chicago. Mary Ann Prombo lives about 45 minutes from us. I will find out more info from my dad over the next few days and respond. Please respond to me regarding this if you would like.

2007 obituary of mother, Angelina.

Mark DiVecchio, who served as Erie County government's chief executive from 2006 through 2009 after a long career as an Erie County councilman, has died.

DiVecchio was 64.
Former Erie County Executive Mark DiVecchio died Monday at the age of 64.

DiVecchio died at his Erie home on Monday after a long battle with cancer, according to his obituary. DiVecchio had publicly acknowledged in the past that he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019.

Erie County government acknowledged DiVecchio's death in a Facebook post on Monday.

�Mark was a true community minded guy with a strong dedication to public service. I�d like to thank him for his 12 years of devoted service to the County, he will be missed," Erie County Executive Brenton Davis said in a statement. "I wish his family comfort and solace during this difficult time.�

Obituary:Mark A. DiVecchio

DiVecchio, a lifelong Democrat, graduated from Strong Vincent High School 1977. He later attended Gannon University, earning a Bachelor's degree in political science.

DiVecchio represented Erie County Council's 4th District for eight years, serving on the seven-member panel from 1998 through 2005, the year he was elected county executive.

He won a razor-thin victory in the county executive's race, defeating Republican Dale McBrier by 121 votes out of 64,525 cast.

DiVecchio lost his re-election bid in 2009, losing in that year's primary race to his eventual successor, fellow Democrat Barry Grossman.

In a 2009 interview, DiVecchio counted his push toward establishing a community college in northwestern Pennsylvania and helping to secure county funding for multimillion-dollar runway upgrades at Erie International Airport among his administration's biggest achievements.

DiVecchio said he also helped bring stability and increased accountability to the county's Office of Children and Youth, which deals with about 2,000 abused and neglected children each year.

He also said he left office with no regrets.

"Everywhere I go, people come up to me and say, 'You guys did a good job,"' DiVecchio said. "I feel like we accomplished a lot and made a difference. That's good enough for me."

After leaving office, DiVecchio worked for the Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General and as a caterer. He occasionally wrote on Facebook about his battle with cancer.

"Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! Also, thanks for the prayers for my me dealing with lung cancer," DiVecchio wrote in a Jan. 7, 2021, Facebook post. "I believe the prayers are working better than the chemo."

Our Mom, Cookie, passed away peacefully at Willow Springs on June 7th, 2018 at the age of 89. We know she was immediately met and embraced by our father, Tom who preceded her in death in 2013. She was also reunited with her siblings Alzo, Vera, Paul, Rena and Stella who have been waiting with Tom for her join them in God�s eternal kingdom. Cookie is survived by her three sons: Father Wayne Epperley (Detroit, MI), Tom (June) Tooele and Paul (Jen) Fort Worth, TX and her two brothers Phillip and John. Cookie was a lifelong resident of Tooele, born to Nettie and Phillip Morrell in 1928, and spent her early years playing with her brothers and sisters on Broadway and working at her parents� general store and Coffee Johns. She married Tom in 1950 and spent many years in Europe with him while Tom served in the U.S. Army before returning to make their home in Tooele. She spent the rest of her life raising their children and many adopted children and family. Cookie was a devout Catholic and member of St. Marguerite�s church. She participated and hosted many events at the church over the years, most notably the ordination to the Priesthood of her son Wayne, a first for the parish. She will be remembered for her genuine kindness and compassion. In addition to keeping up with the friends that she and Tom made around the country and during the many winters they spent in Yuma she had many daily and weekly visitors later in life that would come to listen to her stories about the old days, get sage advice on life and just spend time in her presence. She will be greatly missed by all. The Funeral Mass will be held on Friday June 22nd, 2018 at St Marguerite�s Catholic church, 15 S 7th Street, Tooele, at 11am. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall after the service. Cookie will be buried with her beloved Tom in a private ceremony at Tooele City Cemetery
