Frank N. Zullo, a lifelong Norwalker, local attorney and three-term Democratic mayor who steered the city through the turbulent 1960s and later ran for governor, has died. He was 85. Zullo died peacefully at Norwalk Hospital on Saturday. He is survived by his wife Berenice (Fischler) Zullo, their daughter, Lesley Anne, and several nieces and nephews.

When elected in 1965 at age 33, Zullo was Norwalk’s youngest mayor. While mayors invariably find themselves tackling road paving, school spending and property taxes, Zullo had to address much larger issues and did so with passion, according to Thomas A. Flaherty, his childhood friend, former law partner and a past corporation counsel.
