Rizzuto and their daughter, Laryn E. Rizzuto, son Hunter Rizzuto, and daughter, Lori A. Rizzuto and her three children, Destiny M. Trevino, Cameron C. Frisby and Brendan J. Hutchinson.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Southeastern Louisiana War Veterans Home in Reserve, Louisiana and the staff of Serenity Hospice, as both were very communicative, compassionate and kind through our father’s transitioning. We are both appreciative and grateful for their help during this time.

A private family memorial gathering is to be held in June 2023, and he is to be laid to rest with his family in Parker, Florida at a later date.
