A Tribute in memory of Vic Zavala
|
It is with great sorrow to announce that Vic Zavala passed away Sunday, May 6.
 Ismael Victor Zavala was born Dec. 6, 1932 in Castroville California.
His father passed away at a young age so Vic had to work to help support the family.He met his wife Margaret at a dance, he remembered that the song they danced to was " Cherry Apple Blossom Pink" by Peres Prado.
He worked for a roofing company for three years and then started doing side jobs for himself. After three years he started Zavala Roofing with one pick-up truck. He worked all day and Margaret would walk to the bank
to deposit his earnings. Soon he hired two workers and he would tell them, today you be the foreman and tomorrow the other guy will be the foreman. Before he retired in 1988 Vic was one of the biggest roofing
contractors in Northern California. At his peak he had over one hundred employees with a full office staff. His success was a result of years of working in the heat of the sun,hard physical labor, coming home
dirty and tired only to do it again the next day. Vic and Margaret are blessed with four children Vic jr., Norma, Alice and Liz. He was also blessed with a very Christian mother who used to pray for Vic. Vic
would always come through when his mom's church needed something. I remember a story about when the church needed front doors but it would cost $ 200.00. Back then it was alot of money, Vic paid for it. Over
the years he donated money to the church, did their roof and other repairs.
God blessed Vic because he was a giver. Vic was generous with the community and politicians. He is loved and respected by many in our community. We will all miss him.
SRBA will do a tribute in memory of Vic at the meeting.

Veterans Supportive Services Agency, Inc. (VSSA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization solely dedicated to providing life enhancing supportive services to US Armed Forces Veterans and families. In the year since its inception, VSSA has served over 200 local Veterans. VSSA volunteers have logged over 2000 hours in the last year.
VSSA currently provides all of its services (workshops including: Veterans benefits, resume writing, interviewing skills, business writing, communication skills, basic computer skills) through a City of San Jose-owned Community Center called Noble House, also known as the Veterans Supportive Services Center of Silicon Valley. Our goal with the May 12 Food Trucks Fundraiser is to raise enough to purchase 10 laptops for VSSA sponsored computer courses.
Synaptics is partnering with VSSA in its recycling program, all daily drink containers will be collected by the organization and used toward the purchase of training tools. On average Synapticians consume 400 beverage containers each day, this will make a huge contribution to this organization on an annual basis.
How you can help:
- Attend, participate in and have fun at the May 12 Food Trucks Fundraiser. 10% of the Food Trucks’ proceeds will be donated to VSSA.
- Donate to a worthy cause. If you cannot attend the May 12 event, donations can be made at http://vssainc.org/getinvolveddonate.html
- Volunteer your time in leading a workshop with VSSA and/or refer Veterans who may need help with navigating their benefits applications.
For more information, please visit vssainc.org or if you have questions,
