James J. Rizzo Esq.

Jim, Your were my first, and best instructor. You were my best friend. I look forward to flying with you again,..where there's always a +8 lift and beautiful skys.

Gloria and Pam, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. It must have been a terrible shock. Thinking of you and your family through this sad time. Sharon DeFazio

Your departure was untimely & oh so sad. You will be missed by your many friends. Your family feels total devastation. They will continue to feel your loss, your love & your mere being. I'm so sorry I couldn't be with your family Fri or Sat due to health issues, but my heart & love are with you all. Love from a very sad Bunny. I'm praying for you.

Jim although I only new you for a short time I can honestly say that you were and are a great person. I know that you are a wonderful father because it shows in your 2 wonderful children. Emery is a very fine young man and I know how proud you are of him and rightfully so, as well the pride you have for your Daughter Tera and your grandaughter. You did an awesome job with your children but I'm not surprised because you are an awesome person. I'll see you again on the other side. May God...

I miss you dad...today, tomorrow and forever. You touched so many people's lives in your short life but more importantly you touched mine. You were an amazing dad to me and you will live on in my heart forever. I promise to continue to make you proud of me.
You were a humble man with a giant heart that loved to fly. I find peace in the fact that you were happy and left this world doing the thing that you loved so much in the glider that you loved. Not many people can say that. I'm...

Althea,Pam,&Gloria, so very sorry to hear of your brother's passing. we connected a few years ago at St. Louis's church. you are all in my prayers.

Jim you were the best of friends and a decent Lawyer too. You served my family and friends for some 35 years. I often brought needy individuals to you for help and you always seemed to find help for them or do it yourself with the Simpson discount. You helped me to understand the rule and spirit of law and art of knowing it was time and better to make a deal. I only regret not getting a chance to go up with you. Perhaps we can go soaring on the other side. I'll Meet you there I'm sure.

Pat and I will miss you.
