Thanks again for everything.I grew up in North Arlington NJ

Sleep well Scooter. Thank You for your time.

I will forever cherish the memories. Phil was a tough act to follow and left great quite a legacy to all that knew and loved him.

GOD TRUELY NEEDED A GREAT SHORTSTOP WHEN HE CALLED ON PHIL RIZZUTO,I WAS A BROOKLYN DODGER FAN AND WAS GLAD THAT THE DODGERS TURNED DOWM THE SCOOTER BECAUSE I BECAME A YANKEE FAN WHEN I WAS 14 AND TRUELY LOVED AND ENJOYED THE SCOTTER AND EVERY PLAY HE MADE...GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR PHIL,,A LOVING FAN JOE VIOLA

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rizzuto family. Phil always had time, and a kind word for everyone he met. I will always remember running into him and Cora at the airport with my 3 year old son. At first glance, I thought he was my uncle, the better part of my life his face was a fixture in our living room. After speaking with them both, I realized they could have been our Aunt and Uncle. A true gentleman who always will be remembered in our home. He will be missed by all...

A decent human being. A great Yankee. Having grown up in Queens, NY, I was a Brooklyn Dodger fan. I had a lot of respect for Phil. He was a great ball player. May he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace. Mr. Rizzuto was the epitome of class and loyalty. NYC was so fortunate to have him play there in the golden age of baseball. Phil and Pee Wee Reese gave NYC thrilling memories and we shall be forever grateful.

My deepest sympathy go out to the Rizzuto Family. I grew up in Brooklyn and was a very loyal New York Yankees fan. Phil was my sister ideal. Scooter was loved by all baseball fans.

My condolences to the Rizzuto family.I grew up in Brooklyn but my heart was with the Yankees.Phil was an inspiration to all us kids who wanted to play baseball,he will surely be missed.
