Zuccarelli’s Italian Restaurant and Bar, along with the Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association (PBA), held a Sunday fundraiser for the families of the three fallen Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies killed in November.
The tragedy took place on Nov. 17 when Deputy Sheriff Ralph “Butch” Waller, Deputy Ignacio “Dan” Diaz, and Corporal Luis Paez passed away after they were struck by a vehicle on Southern Boulevard.
Owner Michael Zuccarelli said his family business has been serving West Palm Beach for 42 years and they decided to step in.
Khalil McLean, WPTV“I’ve worked on the road, and I’ve seen what risks they take,” Zuccarelli said. “We need to stand unified with the community and show people that the community stands behind them.“
Zuccarelli has ties to law enforcement, so he and his family immediately took action.
