No. R-252. House concurrent resolution in memory of former Representative,
Commissioner of State Buildings, and Labor Relations Board member John J.
Zampieri of Ryegate.
(H.C.R.170)
Offered by: Representatives Smith of Derby, Emmons of Springfield, and Martel of
Waterford Whereas, John Zampieri was known to his many friends as Zamp, and Whereas, an early interest in politics and public service inspired him to run for the House of Representatives in 1964, at 23 years of age, and his election to the last pre-reapportioned
“Big House” as the member from Ryegate initiated a two-decade sojourn on the pathways of the legislative arena, where he was a respected member of the General Assembly, and Whereas, as chair of both the Transportation and the Institutions Committees, his leadership skills were readily apparent, and Whereas, in 1985, Governor Kunin appointed him Commissioner of State Buildings,
and the bipartisan respect for his work resulted in both Governor Snelling and Governor Dean reappointing him, and later, Governor Douglas appointed him to the State Labor Relations Board, and Whereas, he served in the Vermont National Guard, on the University of Vermont Board of Trustees, in many fraternal and community organizations, and enjoyed many hobbies,
and the John J. Zampieri State Office Building in Burlington is named in his honor, and Whereas, John Zampieri, a dedicated public servant and lifelong resident of Ryegate,
died on June 7, 2021, and his survivors include Joyce, his wife of 52 years, his daughters,
and his namesake grandson, now therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly expresses its sincere condolences to the family of former Representative, Commissioner of State Buildings, and Labor Relations Board member John J. Zampieri of Ryegate, and be it further Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
the members of John Zampieri’s family.
