Notification of Death - Anthony Mazzarella

OFDA received word this morning about the death of Anthony "Tony" J. Mazzarella. Tony was to so many a colleague, a livery owner, a coach dealer, a church going man, an exhibitor, a jack of all trades...but most of all a friend...once he touched your life he was a friend forever.

Tony was the beloved husband of Joanne (Taylor) and the late Virginia (Ripepi); loving father of Anna Maria Masterson (Larry), Donna, Robert L. (Judy), Regina "Bebe" Kramer (Brian), Mary Jo Reminick (Michael), Angela, Anthony Jr., John, Robert Stultz (Tara), David Stultz, and Julia Rutkowski (Joseph); devoted grandfather of 12; great grandfather of 1.

His visitation will take place at McGorray Brothers Funeral Home, 25620 Center Ridge Road, Westlake, OH 44145 on Friday, August 12, 2005 from 2:00-9:00 pm. The Funeral will be at St. Ladislas Church on Saturday, August 13, 2005 at 11:00 am followed by interment in St. Joseph's Cemetery.

The family has asked for contributions to be directed to the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, 4180 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44103; or Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 6928 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102. If you would like to send cards to the family, please send them in care of American Coach Sales at 11723 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44107.
