To the Rizzo Family,
Thanks for sharing Carmen with all of us. He was such a wonderful man and encourager. Always the dapper dresser and a smile as wide as the Golden Gate, Carmen was the ultimate recruiter at the Colombo Club. He had a heart for the Club and an enthusiasm that was contagious.
We have missed him for years, but now those memories we’ve held in our hearts become all the more special. My deepest sympathy on your loss of a wonderful father and grandfather. A great man!

To the Rizzo Family,
I enjoyed each time that I got to talk with and share his knowledge because Carmen brought so much to the Colombo Club, I looked upon his great work at the club when I became the social chairman. He was a great man and will be missed dearly.
