JObit: Cocozziello, Victor [MC1951]
[JR: Grace Feeney (MCstf) messaged me: "Attached find article/obituary
for Victor Cocozziello Class of 1951. Victor was a frequent attendee at
our S.I Manhattan College Club breakfast. "]
[JR: Attached was as followed below that was xeroxed from the paper. I went to Legacy which had.]
Victor A. Cocozziello
Victor A. Cocozziello of Bay Terrace on May 28, 2009. Beloved husband
of Margaret (Honey). Devoted father of Joanne Grippo, Marie (Ria)
Cicero, and Jack Cocozziello. Cherished grandfather of seven. Fond
brother of Albert. Reposing at Colonial Funeral Home, 2819 Hylan Blvd.,
corner of Tysens Lane. Mass Tuesday 9:15 A.M. St. Charles RC Church.
Visiting hours Sunday and Monday 2-4 and 7-9 P.M.
www.colonialfuneralhomesi.com www.SILive.com/obits
[JR: But where was the long version that allowed Grace to scoop me? The
SILIVE site pointed to Legacy. Digging around the website I found it.
BUT, (there is always a big butt), it appears that Legacy is not
getting the full obit and Google isn't indexing all the pages. So we
need eyeballs.]

Victor Cocozziello, 79
by Staten Island Advance
Sunday May 31, 2009, 5:05 AM
Retired lawyer, former prosecutor was active in Republican party
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Victor A. Cocozziello, 79, of Bay Terrace,
a retired lawyer and former prosecutor, died Thursday in Staten Island
University Hospital, Ocean Breeze.
Born and raised in Manhattan, Mr. Cocozziello settled in Bay Terrace in the 1970s.
He was a graduate of St. Anthony’s Elementary School, Manhattan,
where he met his future wife, Margaret (Honey) Robertelli. Mr.
Cocozziello later graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School in the
Bronx, Manhattan College and Fordham University Law School, Manhattan.
Mr. Cocozziello began his legal career in 1954 as an assistant district
attorney in the Homicide Division of the Manhattan district
attorney’s office.
He later left that office to become a lawyer for the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, before retiring in the 1990s.
Mr. Cocozziello was very active in the Republican Party on Staten
Island and after his retirement, worked for the late Republican state
Sen. John Marchi.
He also worked tirelessly for the Goodhue Center of the
Children’s Aid Society, New Brighton, as well as the Staten
Island Zoo.
Highly intelligent, Mr. Cocozziello was an avid reader of newspapers and current events. He also was a devoted family man.
Mr. Cocozziello was a parishioner of St. Charles R.C. Church, Oakwood.
“He was always the consummate gentleman,” said his spouse of 57 years, Margaret.
Surviving, in addition to his wife, Margaret, are his son, Jack Victor;
two daughters, Marie Cicero and Joanne Grippo; his brother, Albert, and
seven grandchildren.
The funeral will be Tuesday from the Colonial Funeral Home, New Dorp,
with a mass at 9:15 a.m. in St. Charles Church. Arrangements include
cremation.

Nicholas Joseph Zauner
Sept. 10, 1927 – June 2, 2009
Nicholas Joseph Zauner, 81, of Venice, formerly of St. James, N.Y., died June 2, 2009.
Visitation will be from 2 to 4 p.m and from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Lemon
Bay Funeral Home, Venice Chapel. A Mass of Christian burial will be at
10 a.m. Saturday at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. Interment will
follow in Venice Memorial Gardens.
Survivors include Katherine, his wife of 54 years; sons Thomas J. of
Wilton, N.Y., John F. of Newnan, Ga., James of Princeton, N.J., and
Peter T. of Boca Raton; a daughter, Mary Beth Faroudi of Venice; 15
grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
A modest man, Mr. Zauner was a wonderful husband and father, and had a
reputation for being a good and faithful friend, always there for
anyone who needed him. In his earlier years he served as chairman of
the science department for Smithtown High School in New York, where a
science scholarship has been established in his name.
He was also a much-loved basketball, baseball, track, and soccer coach
and referee in New York. Being an exceptional athlete himself, Nicholas
was All City Horseshoe Champion in New York City at the age of 17.
A member of the New York State Teachers’ Union, Mr. Zauner received his Bachelor of Science degree from Manhattan College and earned his Master of Science from NYU, where he also served as an instructor.
He retired in 1991, moving to Venice with his wife, Katherine, in 1995.
He sang in the church choir in St. James, New York, for 27 years,
carrying on the tradition at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Venice for
an additional 14 years.
In his spare time, Mr. Zauner enjoyed golfing and membership in the ROMEOs and NOVA.
He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

JEmail: McFadden, Michael J. (MC1973) has some notes
I haven’t written in a while here (as you can probably tell by
the fact that I’m sending it to THREE possible addresses for you!
LOL!) Most of the time when I appear in the news and such they
don’t mention my educational background so I don’t usually
feel it’s appropriate for our circle here, but I’d like to
share two things that just came in today. :)
First of all is the VERY nicely positive review of “Dissecting
Antismokers’ Brains” in the Journal of American Physicians
and Surgeons. I think that’s the first review I’ve gotten
in an actual medical journal! See journal page #63 (link page 3) at:
http://www.jpands.org/vol14no2/bookreviews.pdf
Secondly, I’ve been working hard the last few weeks to expose the
shenanigans behind a study just out of Ohio State U and U of Minnesota
and today the U of Minn newspaper editorial board picked up on my
efforts and ran a major editorial on it. See my response below it and
link as well. :)
http://www.mndaily.com/2009/06/02/conclusions-sale
Soooo…. that’s what’s been keeping me busy. And I
always look forward to getting my Jottings every week. Just wish there
were a few more folks from ‘70 to ‘77 active in there!
Oh! And if there are any Jaspers out there who like politically
oriented science fiction, have either a Kindle or an I-Phone, and would
like to help a Jasper with neither…. :> I’ve written a
novelette currently sold on Kindle/IPhone by the title of
“TobakkoNacht!” It’s for sale for $1.35 (bundled with
some other writings as well) and I’ve gotten one piece of
feedback that it has formatting problems. If anyone is up for
downloading it and giving me an idea of WHAT those problems are so that
I can fix them I’d be eternally grateful!

McFadden, Michael J. (MC1973)
[JR: (1) Always glad to hear from our fellow Jaspers. Nice to have
something to put up on Jottings other than obits. And, all three emails
work. I try to be easy to reach. (Liberal Arts guys confuse SO easily.)
Yell at your 70-77 comrades; I'll push just about anything. Anything
that meets our "strict" editorial standards. (We'll know it when we see
it?) (2) Congrats on being "journalized". Guess that makes you a legit
source of wisdom. (3) Ahh a real muckraker. (4) Congrats. On the Amazon
listing. And, on writing books in general. I have a new found respect
for the effort it takes. Kindle would be a great place for "Church" due
to its length. (5) Social Activist? Is that like "community organizer"
rofl. (6) Thanks for the material. fjohn68]

The Problem With Porn
May 11, 2009
*** begin quote ***
The Ways in Which Porn Saps Your Manliness
1. It objectifies women.
2. It supports a filthy industry
3. It will mess with your expectations of sex
4. It creates a cycle that diminishes your sexual pleasure
5. It saps your manly confidence
*** end quote ***
It takes your time and attention away where it should be. It’s a
quadrant 4 “Neither Urgent; nor important” (i.e., time
wasting) activity. One of the few things that I can think of that goes
into that quadrant.
