Charles J. Zullo Jr., 85, of Washington, died Wednesday, August 19, 2015, in his home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born July 22, 1930, in Washington, a son of the late Charles J. Sr. and Eleanor Caputo Zullo.
Mr. Zullo was a graduate of Washington High School and then attended Washington Seminary.
He was a member of St. Hilary Roman Catholic Church in Washington.
Mr. Zullo was a senior member of Valley Brook Country Club in McMurray for more than 40 years.
He was also a member of American Legion Post 175 in Washington, International Oxygen Manufacturers Association Worldwide and a longtime member of Gas And Welding District Association.
He loved his work and family.
Mr. Zullo was passionate about supporting children's charities worldwide.
He was chairman and founder of CGI group of companies based in Washington. Mr. Zullo began his legacy in an alley on Arch Street in Washington's Tylerdale section, where his father taught him to weld as a young boy. It was here that General Welding Supply Company was founded in 1948 from humble beginnings. It grew to become CGI International Group of Companies, one of the largest independently owned industrial gas companies in the northeastern United States, providing service to over 15 states.
The CGI Group of Companies headquartered in Washington for the last 67 years includes CGI International, LLC, CGI International Inc. and General Hydrogen Corp. located in Procter, W.Va.
Known as an innovator in the industrial gas industry, he built the only privately held hydrogen company in the United States, providing hydrogen gas to all the major power companies in the northeastern U.S.
Over the years, he acquired experiences that cannot be taught, skills that are hard to come by and friends that lasted a lifetime. He built a family, business and life that will be remembered for generations. His motto, "nothing happens until someone sells," has become a company mantra.
Mr. Zullo attributed his success in business to his parents and the discipline, skills and training he acquired as a marine sergeant in 2nd division. His skill as a marine sharpshooter earned him a military medal. His pride in being a U.S. Marine was well-known among all who knew him.
On February 12, 1951, in Washington, he married the love of his life, Mary Aldine Camps, who died August 31, 2010.
Mr. Zullo was the loving father of six daughters, Deborah (David) Caruso of Lauderdale by the Sea, Fla., Cathy J. (Joseph) Angeli of Margate, Fla., Eileen Zullo of Pittsburgh, Cindy L. Zullo of Washington, Sandra L. Anderl of Washington and Lisa J. (Sonnino) Bruni of Bethel Park, and his son Charles J. Zullo III, who preceded him in death.
Surviving are a sister, Marlene Wilson of Washington, and his grandchildren, David Charles Caruso, Michael Joseph Angeli, Olivia Lauren Angeli, Zoe Muskan Zullo, Nathan Duane Chadwick, Damian Lee Chadwick, Justin Charles Chadwick, Stephen Hans Anderl, Ian Charles Anderl, Nicholas Francesco Bruni, Alexandra Aldine Bruni, Hallie Mesta and Mitchel Charles Zullo. Also surviving are seven great-grandchildren, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Deceased are a brother-in-law, James Wilson, and a son-in-law, Stephen Anderl.
