Mr Z was a one of a kind character. Although I only saw him a couple times a year when he was visiting Florida I’ll never forget him. He “fired” me once for putting his chair in the wrong spot on the third green of TPC, but he hired me right back so we would take his chairs out again the following day. He loved his family more than anything else in the world. I will miss him.

Mr. Z
Simply one of the Best!!
God bless the Zitello family during this tough time.
God needed a scratch golfer.
I know Mr. Z  is being welcomed not only by MRS. Z BUT ALL THE BOYS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
GOD Speed MR Z .

Mr. Z, (Luigi), Boy he had great one liners, real Zingers! Busted my gut a lot. He’d let one go and then look at you with those big smiling eyes! A proud papa and loving husband alright! Cheers to you Mr. Z! Thanks for the laughs. Tommy O’

Stino and I, including our Stino Da Napoli family will miss seeing your Dad coming for his requested  veal parmigiana. It was a pleasure to cook for him. We  will miss him and the entire family. May he rest in peace❤️.

Our deepest sympathy to the Zitiello family! I know your faith will carry you through to find peace that Lugi is at rest with The Almighty and those that have gone before him.
We pray that you find happiness in the memories of his love for the whole family, his entertaining and witty stories and certainly his one liners!
He will be missed, but not forgotten.
Love Pat & Michele

My deepest sympathies to the family of Luigi Zitiello. I am sad to learn of his passing but I know he lived a blessed live. So many memories of special times shared with this amazing family. The picture I posted is me with Luigi on a family trip to Las Vegas I think in 2016 right after my Jim passed away. I brought a small bit of ashes, so Lou could scatter them around his favorite crab‘s table at Caesars Palace. Luigi Jim and Jug friends since childhood and through their adult lives the golfers Thursday nights at Bucci’s in Rocky River. They have always made me and Jim feel like family. May you rest in peace, my dear friend, knowing that you are in heaven reunited with Peggy and all those that we have lost that are already there to greet you my love goes out to the Family

To the Zitiello family, I’ve known your dad since grade school at our Lady of Angels. Lots of fun and memories over many years. He was funny, loving, caring  and told great stories. A wonderful father, grandfather, brother, uncle and great grandfather.

Our deepest condolences and sympathy for your loss from Dena and me. He’s upstairs now hanging out with Peggy eating a meatball sandwich or veal parmigiana.

Love you all. Jim Loparich

Probably the nicest,kindest.And funniest man I ever met! God bless
