Notes:

Thomas Richard Zito, 72, passed away peacefully on May 24, 2020. Born in Niagara Falls on June 30, 1947, Tom grew up in LaSalle with his parents and siblings at what was fondly known to everyone as "Zito's Funny Farm."
He served and received an Honorable Discharge from the Army. Tom moved to Pennsylvania where he settled in at Coraopolis, PA, where he met and later married the love of his life, Karen, in 1997.
Tom was a Harley Davidson enthusiast. His pride and joy was a 1959 Panhead. He spent many hours in his back yard watching the wildlife that wandered through. Tom was an avid Steelers fan and when they played the Bills, the game turned in to a fun rivalry within the family.
Tom was a most humble, happy man with an infectious smile. You did not leave him without a big hug and an "I love you." He would do anything for anybody and had great love for all of his family and friends.
Tom is survived by his beloved wife, Karen (Mozuch) Zito; their fur children, Pumpkin and Big Boy; son, Franklin Zito; siblings, Russell (Sharon) Zito, Diane (Robert) Hazelet, Donna Zito, and Dominic (Tammy) Zito; his aunts, many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, a great-great niece and all of his loving cousins and in-laws. He was predeceased by His parents, Elizabeth (Fiori) and Dominic Zito.
His words to you would be: "Do not pray for an easy life, Pray to be a strong person."
Private arrangements were made, however a Celebration of his life for family and friends will be scheduled in the future.
