Mrs. Zagone ~  I am so sorry for your loss.  Judge Zagone was an excellent jurist.  I hope you and your beautiful family find comfort in wonderful memories.     

It was my privilege to work in front of Judge Zagone as a young public defender. He was tough but fair, and always easy to talk to. I especially remember Tuesday afternoons in Park Ridge. He taught me much. Thank you, Sir.  RIP.
My condolences to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing.

Judge Zagone was truly a remarkable judge and an absolute gentleman to all who knew him. I had the pleasure of working with him in District 3 for many years. As a court reporter, I could not have asked for a better judge to work with. He was so compassionate to the court reporter’s needs, and that meant a lot on those sometimes grueling days. We could always count on Judge Zagone to make us smile when smiling didn’t seem possible. He will truly be missed by so many people. 
My prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. I hope you can find comfort in your wonderful memories and knowing how many lives your husband/father has touched. 

Rest In Peace, Judge. 

Dear Mrs. Zagone, Mary, Theresa, Nick, and Jo Ann,

I was saddened to hear about Mr. Zagone’s passing. I have fond childhood memories, going way back to Chicago, of having lazy fun playing at your house. At the time, I was not quite aware of Mr. Zagone’s accomplishments and stature, I just remember him as always kind to us kids. Also, Mrs. Zagone and Mr. Zagone were to me the most glamorous and handsome parents, as well true friends to my parents.  Years later, as an adult, I was summoned to jury duty and Judge Zagone was the judge! (I was excused from that case.) I believe your husband/father’s professional and civic work touched and improved the lives for many people and communities - he led an inspiring life, as well as raised a wonderful family. My sincere sympathies on your loss.

We trust that your fond memories will be a comfort during this time of grieving. 

Working with Judge Zagone was an honor and a pleasure he was a kind man my favorite story about him was when Burma, Marie the court reporter and myself were going through our change of life and all of us were constantly breaking down and crying and he would ask for a recess and calm us down he did that 3 times that day.What a kind man he was R.I.P Judge you will be missed

Condolences to the Zagone family.  I have known Nick since 1958.  Always enjoyed my conversations with him.  RIP Nick you will be missed.

Judge Nick Zagone was a true gentleman. I had the honor of working with him for many years in the court system. We worked in the Des Plaines Felony Court for years before moving in to the Rolling Meadows facility.  One of the finest Judges ever, fair and very patient. His friendship along with his wife Darlene meant the world to me. Nick, you will be sorely missed, but take your rest and walk with the angels my friend. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Nick was my father’s dearest friend and I’m very grateful that they had each other for so many years. He was a wonderful, compassionate and honorable man who clearly loved and cherished his family and friends. Heaven got a good one though I know how very much he will be missed by his loved ones on Earth.
