Bonifacio Zapata

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ the staff at Deisler Funeral Home

Zapata family. sorry for your loss. it was the unique laugh that I can still hear even though it has been years. Praying for you all. God Bless!!! Incline, O Lord, Thine ear to our prayers, in which we humbly beseech Thy mercy, that Thou wouldst place the soul of Thy servant, which Thou hast caused to depart from this world, into the region of peace and light; and unite in the fellowship of Thy Saints. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

My husband grew up in the St. Rita's area and knew Ben from there. We both knew him from the Cathedral where he would come on Sunday, using his walker. He was always friendly and generous. He had such a hard time speaking after his stroke, but that didn't stop him from talking! We ran into him out at dinner several times and a couple of times, he joined us and then paid for our dinner too! We were sad to hear of his passing, but knew he had health problems. You, his family, are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Jim and Judy Grzesiak

I worked with Bonifacio at the Grey Iron Foundry for my 40 years. We had many laughs talking about the Races at Daytona 500. He would bring me hats from the many races he would attend. We shared many stories we both had from daily jobs at the foundry. He will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.
