Loving Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and Friend

Edward A. Zunino, 67, of West Grove, PA, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on May 12, 2017. He was the husband of Lois McGinnis-Zunino, with whom he shared 22 wonderful years of marriage.

Born in West Grove, PA, he was a son of Mary Daddario Zunino of Avondale and the late Angelo J. Zunino. Ed attended St. Patricks School, Kennett High School and the Delaware County Police Academy.

After completing his education, Ed began his police career in his hometown in 1974.

Ed retired in July of 2016 after 42 years of service for the Borough of Kennett Square.

When Ed wasnt serving in his official capacity, he was an avid bow-hunter. First and foremost he loved spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, and other family and friends. Ocean City, NJ was a special place Ed enjoyed visiting ever since childhood. He was also an active member of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in West Grove, PA.
