Besides his parents; he was preceded in death by his brothers, John Zavatchin, Mike Swantek, Paul Swantek and Andrew Swantek; and his sister, Mary Ann Masi.

The family would like to thank Hospice of the Valley, who ensured he could rest at home and Sam Carissimi who was like a son and who diligently took dad to his dialysis appointments.  We are forever grateful.
