   moved to California in 1930, working in the lettuce fields of the Salinas
   Valley.  He returned to Rockwood briefly to marry his high school sweetheart,
   Evelyn.  The couple moved to Martinez, Calif., in 1937, and for the next 27
   years they owned and operated Zufall's Furniture Store and Moving and Storage
   Co.  He was a city councilman in Martinez and active in the Chamber of
   Commerce, League of Cities, Lions Club and the Boy Scouts of America.  In
   1964, Zufall moved to Anderson, Calif., where he and his oldest son, Bill,
   owned and operated Zufall's Mobile Park.  He also worked for Pacific Motor
   Trucking in Redding until 1974.  He was an active member of the Moose and Elks
   Lodges in Redding and a supporter of the Sons of Italy and the Boy Scouts. 
   Survivors include his wife of 59 years, Evelyn; one son, Bob Zufall of
   Scott's Valley; two grandsons, Dr. Ronald Zufall of Redding and John Zufall
   of Monrovia, Calif.; and four great grandchildren.  A cremation and service
