Samuel Michael Rizzo entered into God's Kingdom on June 19th 2023.

He was born January 23, 1939 to Michael and Antoinette Rizzo. Sam, a most devoted and loving husband, father, and grandfather is survived by his wife Gail and his children. His son Drake Rizzo with his wife Suzanne and their daughters Katelynn, Abigail and Allison, and his daughter Stacie Rossidivito with her husband Michael and their sons Patrick and Anthony.

A prime example of service, kindness, and quiet strength, Sam joined the Army out of high school. After transitioning to the Reserves, he started his carpentry apprenticeship with Local 31, beginning a career that lasted over 30 years as a carpenter and millwright. He married the love of his life at 22 years of age, and they traveled the world together - often bringing along their growing family. They celebrated 62 years together this past April.
