Beloved Pittsburgh Hairdresser, age 89, passed away peacefully among his family on September 20, 2019. Husband to late Madeline Baldizar Mozzoni. Muzz had a colorful and diverse life. As a longtime resident of Mt. Lebanon, he was devoted to the Beverly Rd. Shopping District. Once referred to as "Mr. Beverly Rd.", Rinaldo was instrumental in some of the urban development changes enjoyed by residents today. He was a Mt. Lebanon Volunteer Fireman. Former Special Forces veteran of the Korean War, he carried the honor of being an Army Ranger. Passionate about golf and traditional Italian cuisine, he embraced a lifetime of cultivating excellence in both domains. Muzz was praised for his traditional Italian meals at the annual OGAD Festival at Chartiers Country Club. For years he served hundreds of hungry Italian food aficionados to glowing reviews. Rinaldo is survived by his daughter Kelly, two granddaughters, his sister Ida Sadosky and nephew Eddie Mozzoni. A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 27 at 10 a.m. at the MT. LEBANON CEMETERY MAUSOLEUM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Rinaldo's name to Treepittsburgh.org Arrangements entrusted to WILLIAM SLATER II FUNERAL SERVICE, Scott Twp.

My dear Uncle Muzz meant so much to me and my son Jack. We know you are with the ones who left before you and are once again sharing all the great stories, love, wisdom, integrity and strength that made you a man with a gentle soul. --We carry your heart --we carry it in our hearts. You will be in our thoughts and prayers forever. Jack has promised to do you proud.
We loved you unconditional as we hope you loved us. Love you always and will see you again someday our dear friend.

First and foremost, from our family to yours, we are very saddened to hear of your loss. We first met Rinaldo
over 41 years ago when we rented 293 Beverly Rd, known as Suburban Dry Cleaners. Rinaldo was a great
storyteller, sharing his life experiences and was an exquisite, artful man with a warm smile and a soulful
personality. The world was made more beautiful and our community is forever changed because of him. We are
grateful to have known him and thank him for allowing our business to prosper. Please accept our heartfelt
condolences and know he will be greatly missed.
Sincerely, Frank Capo & family, on behalf of Suburban Dry Cleaners.
