Carl Joseph Rizzo

He went to New York City to pursue a career as a singer where he met his soon-to- be wife, Adeline. In 1949, they married in the courthouse chapel in NYC. Carl was a devoted husband, wonderful and loving father, grandfather, and great-grand father who loved studying the bible. He never had a harsh word and showed his gentle and loving spirit to all those he came in contact with. He was a strong Christian and very involved with his church. He will be missed by all who knew him.

He leaves behind his loving daughter, Diane Buck; son, Jim Rizzo; three grandchildren, Angela, Erin, and Nickolas and one great-grandchild, Dillon. He was preceded in death by his wife Adeline Rizzo.
