Ernest Zafonte Jr

Age - 68

November 15, 2023

Ernest "Ernie" Zafonte, Jr. passed away on November 12, 2023, just one day after celebrating his 68th birthday. He passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. Ernie was born in Valley Stream NY to Ernest Sr. and Lucene Zafonte, on Veterans Day November 11, 1955. He graduated from Valley Stream Central High School in 1973. In 1974 he enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps where he earned the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant and served our country during the Gulf War (Desert Storm). After providing invaluable assistance to the Marine Reserves, he retired after 22 years of service. Ernie is remembered as a man of many faces and talents . . . but mostly it's his special brand of humor and mischief that is his legacy. Beneath the gruff exterior was a huge heart and a fierce love for his family. His heart was most full when he could spend time with his wife, his cat (Willy), his daughter, granddaughters, siblings, and his nieces and nephews. If you were lucky, you'd get a classic Ernie phone call to check in with the latest news or to give his recommendations for restaurants he saw on TV, or just to say hello before signing off with the signature "Okie Doke. " Ernie leaves behind many, many friends that he picked up along the way, including those from the American Sea Rangers and Marine Corps. Most of all Ernie will be missed dearly by his family: his wife Kathleen, stepson Gary, daughter Amanda (Daniel), granddaughters Cassidy and Rylee, sister Rosann (Bob), brother Joe (Meredith), sister Marian (Nick), and sister Donna Maria (Bill). And a gaggle of knucklehead nieces and nephews. As we say goodbye, we ask, "Ernie, who's better than YOU?"Show more

Neil J. McNeill, Sr. , a devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, and a true friend, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2023, surrounded by the love of his children. Born on April 19, 1944, in Brooklyn, New York, Neil's journey through life was marked by love, service, and a profound commitment to family. Neil's early years were shaped in the heart of Brooklyn, where he grew up with his family. At the young age of 17, driven by a sense of duty and patriotism, Neil joined the U. S. Navy, earning his place in the 'Silent Service' aboard the USS Grampus. He relished the adventures of travel and the exhilaration of diving off the ship during swim calls, embodying the spirit of service to his country. During his high school years, Neil met the love of his life, Marie. Introduced by Marie's cousin, their connection was immediate, and Neil knew he had found his lifelong partner. They were married while Neil was still in the service, and together they built a beautiful family in Brooklyn before eventually settling in Valley Stream. Neil's professional journey led him to American Airlines briefly before he found his true calling with the NYC Sanitation Department, where he dedicated over 30 years of service and retired as a supervisor as part of NY's Strongest. Neil approached his work with dedication and a strong sense of responsibility. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Neil's true legacy lies in the love and joy he brought to his family and friends. A beloved husband, caring father, proud Papaw, and great-grandfather, Neil's warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who knew him. He was also a cherished son, a caring brother to Anna, and a much-loved uncle, cousin, and dear friend. In addition to his roles within the family, Neil was known for his skill as an excellent squirrel hunter, adding a touch of humor and uniqueness to his character. His sense of humor and unwavering love will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Neil is survived by his children Dawn (Mike), Dina (Tim), and Scott (Jess), along with 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his adoring wife, Marie, his parents Neil and Anna, his beloved sister Anna and brothers-in-law Ray and Buddy, nieces Elizabeth and Lisa, nephew Raymond, and loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
