For many years he headed the L.A. Lux Company, a manufacturer of water treatment chemicals. After his retirement in 1989, he founded Scranton Associates, a consulting firm in the same field, and in 1995, expanded its activities into manufacturing. In 2008, he relocated the company to larger facilities in Strongsville. His efforts are recalled, for many, by the large number of technical papers he presented and published. Over a twelve-year period (1986-1998), he was an active member of the Board of MetroHealth System, particularly in matters related to Building and Grounds. In 1998, he was honored by the Center for Health Affairs for his contributions to health care in northeastern Ohio.

During the 1960s he was a member of the Commission on Catholic Community Action and headed its Housing Task Force. The City Club of Cleveland was one of his favorite hangouts. He served as President in 1976, and, as part of the U.S. Bicentennial celebration for that year, led the group on a trip to England for its first Forum away from Cleveland. The Rowfant Club, a focus for his interest in books, elected him to its presidency in 1989 and to be chairman of its 100th Anniversary Celebration. Among his most interesting presentations were those on the Tremont neighborhood, his Life in Baseball, and the demise of the Sterling Hotel. Mr. Cavano attended East High School in Cleveland, graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1947 and did two years of graduate work in Mathematical Statistics at Columbia University. He served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II, in both the European and Pacific theatres.

Please keep the Zammikiel family in your prayers. BEREA, Ohio -- The man found dead in the Cleveland Metroparks' Big Creek Reservation has been identified as Thomas Zammikiel, who was reported missing March 30. Cleveland Metroparks rangers confirmed the identity after a park visitor discovered the body about 2:15 p.m. Friday near railroad tracks and an electrical substation, spokeswoman Dianna Kall said. The Cuyahoga County coroner's office has yet to identify the body or rule on the cause of death. There were no obvious injuries and foul play is not suspected, Berea police Lt. Joseph Hedinger said. Police had been looking for Zammikiel, 72, of Manning Drive, who had dementia and depression. He would have been able to walk from his home to where his body was found, Hedinger said. Zammikiel was a retired financial adviser. He directed the Regional Income Agency, was the financial director in Maple Heights and Berea and was the administrative assistant to the mayor of Brook Park in the 1990s. |
