Words cannot truly express how I feel about Mr. Ziccardi. I have not really known him for that long, but my sister Nora used to speak of him often. I finally got to know him about 7 years ago, and always marveled at his vast knowledge, quick wit, and compassion for all things, especially food. I remember a trip to Montclair to see a show and have dinner at a nice Italian restaurant where he ordered a veal chop special. When his plate arrived, we could not believe the size of that chop. I still chuckle when I thing about that dinner! He also professed to be the expert on hot dogs, and we enjoyed a Libby lunch one day. He has been to several of my sister's parties, and was always a great conversationalist and the life of the party. I will miss his smiling face. Rest in peace my friend. Sympathy to all of the Ziccardi's.
