Nearhoof, Sr.  Fran married Susan M. Meehan on January 6, 1971 and they remained happily married until his passing.  
Upon learning Fran would be drafted into the Army in 1971, his “big brother”, John Waggoner, took him to the enlistment office, where, due to his mechanical experience working with his father, he was able to join the Seabees (Naval Construction Battalion).  He served his country proudly at Grade E4 in Vietnam working on heavy equipment and constructing shelters for the Vietnamese Navy families until his honorable discharge in 1973.
Fran worked in family businesses his whole life, first at service stations with his parents and later operating Nearhoof’s Auto Service with his brothers.  He enjoyed downhill skiing, drag racing, and baseball in his younger years, and was a fast-pitch softball player.  He also enjoyed hunting, golfing, and bowling, in which he recorded nine 300 games.

For much of his life he enjoyed tennis, golf, bicycling and exercising. Upon retiring, he enjoyed boating, especially with his grandchildren. He was an avid Buffalo Bills and Sabres fan.

6698 Frank ‘Murph’ Zuccari, 74, died Tuesday, August 6, 2019 in Buffalo General Hospital after a brief illness.  A lifelong operator and owner of Zuccari Brothers Dairy in Bergholz, he was the son of the late Alfonso ‘Frank’ and Teresa (Ventresca) Zuccari.  He leaves behind his beloved wife of 46 years, Rosalie (Cimo) Zuccari, children Jacqueline (Kevin) Mang; Anthony (Maria) Zuccari and Patrick Zuccari and four grandchildren; Domenico, Giovanni and Gianna Zuccari and Bernadette Mang.  He is also survived by brothers Paul A. (Luanne) Zuccari and Robert P. (Joan) Zuccari, several nieces and nephews and cousins, including his business partner Ron Zuccari.
Murph was well known for his smile, his wit, his strength, his energy and his work ethic. He began working on the Zuccari farm with his father and uncle as a small child.  He was a wonderful father and grandfather who loved his family and he was a lifelong farmer who loved the land.  He was well respected within the farm community in Niagara County and his smiling face and joyful laughter was recognized throughout the area.  Many other farmers sought Murph’s advice and opinions about agriculture and farm techniques.  He maintained lifelong friendships with those he had made as a student in Niagara Wheatfield schools and those he made as a county businessman and farmer.  He and his brother, Robert, operated the family farm, which was a dairy business for over 60 years before shifting to crop production.
Murph enjoyed trips to the casino and to the Adirondacks with his family.  He loved sports, especially watching his grandsons’ play hockey, and trying to support the Buffalo Bills.  He delighted in spending time with his grandchildren.  He loved the Zuccari holiday gatherings and playing cards with his brothers and cousins. He was an extraordinary man and his laughter and good humor will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
