Donald C. Mozzi's Obituary
Donald Charles Mozzi, age 84, entered into a much deserved rest surrounded by his loving family on June 20, 2020.
Beloved husband of Mary Catherine “Kayda” (nee Campbell) for 58 years. Loving father of Karen (Jeff) Gangidine, Marie Mozzi-Pageau (Charles), Robert F. Mozzi, and Donald C. Mozzi, Jr. Grandfather of Kate (Anthony) Boi, Matthew (Shayn) Gangidine, Andrew (Annie) Gangidine, Paul, Bryn and Tessa Mozzi. Great grandfather to Amy, Ethan and Wyatt and still counting.
He was preceded in death by parents Francesco & Rose Mozzi and brothers Francis & Robert.
Born in Meriden, CT, Don was a graduate of Meriden High School and St. Michael’s College, VT. He was a US Army veteran and made a career as an agent in life insurance. An athlete himself, he continued his love of sports as an avid fan and could talk sports with anyone. Don was famous for his story telling, sense of humor and genuine love of life. His love will carry on in what has become a family tradition, the Italian “prolonged” goodbye.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, June 25, 2020 from 4PM – 7PM in the Sunset Chapel, 6245 Columbia Rd., North Olmsted. Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Friday, June 26, at 10AM at St. Clarence Catholic Parish, 30106 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted. For Mass, please wear a mask and meet at the church.
