John Zaccaro

John Anthony Zaccaro (born April 5, 1933) is a real estate developer and owner of P. Zaccaro & Company, which was founded by his father Philip Zaccaro.

The company acts as a landlord for properties in the Little Italy, Chinatown, and East Side areas of Manhattan and (formerly) in Queens.

He is the widower of the late Geraldine Ferraro, former U.S. House of Representatives member from New York and the 1984 Democratic Party Vice Presidential nominee.

Zaccaro was born in the Bay Ridge, Brooklyn neighborhood, to Italian American parents born in the U.S. When an infant the family moved, and he grew up in Forest Hills, Queens (or Kew Gardens, Queens). He attended Loyola School and Rhodes Preparatory School, both in Manhattan. A severe football injury left him unavailable for the draft, but he nonetheless joined the United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class, becoming a second lieutenant. He was drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers out of high school. He attended Iona College from 1951 to 1955 and graduated with a degree in business administration.
