I just received word Lou Zambelli died Feb 18, 2014. Here is the obituary.
.
Louis A. Zambelli Sr., 88, of Neshannock Township passed away the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014, at his residence, surrounded by his loving family. He was born Feb. 15, 1926, in New Castle and was a son of the late Anthony and Mary Tuscano Zambelli. On Feb. 18, 1950, he married his wife, the former Diana F. Ferri. She preceded him in death Jan. 13, 2007. Mr. Zambelli proudly spent his entire working career with the family business, Zambelli Fireworks. He was a master pyrotechnician who was also involved in the manufacturing and making of the fireworks. His profession started in May 1946, until his retirement in December 2013. At the end of his career, he worked as a consultant for the company. His line of business took him all over the country and around the world twice, which included some very special exhibits. Mr. Zambelli had the pleasure of putting on displays for seven of our United States presidents, as well as for Pope John Paul II. Louis was an Army veteran, serving in the European theatre of World War II. He was a member of the 3rd company, serving under General George C. Patton as his mess sergeant. Mr. Zambelli enjoyed yard work and was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh sports teams. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather whose greatest joy was the time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was a member of the American Legion Post 343, St. Vitus Church and the church's Holy Name Society. Louis is survived by two daughters, Linda Chrobak and her husband, Daniel, and Gina Zambelli, both of New Castle; a son, Louis A. Zambelli Jr. and his wife, Connie, of Rochester, N.Y.; and five grandchildren, Danielle Patton and her husband, Michael, Brian Chrobak, Louis A. Zambelli III, Dominic Zambelli and Mariel Zambelli. In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Carmen Zambelli, Joseph Zambelli and George Zambelli; and three sisters, Rita Irace, Concetta Tommelleo and Annabelle Angelucci. Visitation will be 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, and 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, at the Ed and Don DeCarbo Funeral Home and Crematory Inc., 3000 Wilmington Road. A procession will leave the funeral home at 9:15 a.m. Monday, Feb. 24, for St. Vitus Church where a Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. by the Rev. Nicholas Vaskov. Entombment will be in Castle View Memorial Gardens. Military rites will be provided at the cemetery Monday by the New Castle Area Honor Guard. Memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the American Legion Post 343. Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.decarbofuneralhome.com.
