Paul Rizzo Obituary
Paul was born on March 6th, 1929, to the late Paul and Mary (nee Klement) Rizzo. He married Bunny (nee Kec) Rizzo, with whom he spent over 50 wonderful years of his life, and together they had three children. Paul is survived by his son Paul Rizzo, daughter Pam (CD) Alderson, grandchildren Morgan Rizzo, Buck (Kate) Rizzo, Lauren Rizzo, and his great-granddaughter, Elaine Kappes. He is additionally survived by his two brothers, Fred and Chuck (Nancy) Rizzo, as well as his nephew, Michael Rizzo, and his sister-in-law, Barbie Loehrer. Paul was preceded in death by his wife Bunny, daughter Janet Rizzo, and his parents.
Paul served his country in the army from 1951-1956, and enjoyed boating on Lake Geneva with his wife and family. He was a hobbyist wine maker, and gratefully remained active and independent until the end of his life. Paul was an important influence in the promotional products industry; he spent much of his adult life working in sales for such.
Private interment will be held at St. Andrew Catholic Cemetery in April with a celebration of Paul's life to follow sometime in early summer. In lieu of flowers, the family requests for any donations to be directed to the Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org). Lazarczyk Family Funeral Homes, Betzer Chapel of Delavan, is proudly serving the family.

Uncle Paul, Big Paul, was an amazing man. I never saw him without a smile, and he always made time for us up at the lake. I could go on and on, but if you knew him for a few minutes, you know exactly what I mean when I say he was a generous spirit. He was an influence in my adult life and he is deeply missed. My sympathies to all. Timo.

I had the opportunity of working with Paul 40 some years ago. He was a great person to make a sales call with and was liked by everyone. My sympathy to the family.

I always had a ton of respect for Paul. I was fortunate to know and work with him early on in my career.
