Death
Zucker died of a brain tumor on April 12, 2008. Zucker was survived by his wife Anita, who became the first female governor of HBC in its 338 year history, and by his children Jonathan Zucker, Andrea Muzin, and Jeffrey Zucker.
Ted Levin, president of the Emanu-el synagogue, said at Zucker's funeral:
- "Anybody who reached out to him for help never went away with an empty hand....It's a loss not just for our community, or for Charleston, but it's a loss for the world."
