He leaves behind his brothers; Frank, Lawrence, and Andy Zagotti. Along with his kids; Fred (Carla) Zagotti, Lynn (Mark) Aventino, and Kristy Novak. He was adored by all especially his grandchildren; Maria, Anthony, Alayna, Logan, Dominic, Zoe, and Matthew. Fred graduated from Rayen High School in Youngstown and then followed that by a football career at Mount Union College for a short period of time before being drafted into the United States Army. He worked as a postmaster for the United States Postal Service in Hubbard. After he retired he dedicated his life to loving his family and friends. He spent his days playing cards, golfing, bowling, and going to the casino. He was very proud of his four hole in ones, two 300 and one 299 bowling games, and his no hitter in fast pitched softball. Fred was a free spirit full of hope and was cracking jokes until the end. He was happy to be out of pain and reunite with his lovely wife, Dorothy; brothers, Nicholas, George, Joseph, Richard, James, John; and sister, Florence Steiner in heaven.
