Frank Zuccarelli, a longtime political figure in the south suburbs, died Monday at his home in South Holland.
Zuccarelli served as Thornton Township Supervisor, and was a committee person with the Cook County Democratic Party. He was also Chairman of the Board of Trustees at South Suburban College.
In a statement, Governor JB Pritzker called him a friend, and said he brought unparalleled leadership to the region for decades. Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle tweeted,"Today I am saddened to hear of the passing of Frank Zuccarelli, Thornton Township Supervisor and Committeeperson. A resident of South Holland, Frank has been a devoted community member and champion for the south suburbs for nearly 40 years, serving on a number of boards for community organizations. I send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Village of Dixmoor President Fitzgerald Roberts also issued a statement, saying in part,"I have had the privilege of working with Frank for a number of years and I found him to be someone who would not only listen to the concerns of communities like ours but find ways to get things done."
