Salvatore Joseph Vizzo

1941 - 2025

Salvatore Joseph Vizzo
Salvatore Joseph Vizzo, a proud son of Chickahominy and a lifelong resident of Cos Cob, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2025, at the age of 84, surrounded by the family he loved so deeply.
Born on July 26, 1941, to the late Salvatore and Lena Vizzo, Sal was one of nine siblings who grew up in a close-knit Italian-American household. A proud patriot, Sal enlisted in the United States Army at the age of 18, serving in Germany with honor. Upon returning home, he married the love of his life, Carmella Ann (née Capalbo) Vizzo, beginning a lifelong partnership rooted in love, loyalty, and family.
Sal was a dedicated small business owner in his beloved Greenwich community, always believing in hard work and giving back. He was an active member of the Lion's Club and the Knights of Columbus, and even dabbled in local politics, proudly serving on the Representative Town Meeting (RTM) of Greenwich.
Sal was the heart and soul of a large and loving family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Carmella; his children, Bill Vizzo and partner, Jill Ricker, Steven Vizzo and wife, Tiffany, and Caren St. Phillip and husband, Peter; and his cherished grandchildren: Chantal Ducas and her sons, Colton and Chason, Brittany Kavanaugh and her husband, Michael, with sons, Michael Jr. and Charlie, Billy Jr. and partner, Danielle Mignone, with daughter, Livia, Cailin Biagetti and her husband, Cole, Adeline and Jack St. Philip, and Luke and Braden Vizzo. He is also survived by his siblings: Marie Capalbo, Barbara Longo, Millicent Gangi, Valerie Mutturro, John Vizzo, Thomas Vizzo, Richard Vizzo, and Joseph Vizzo. He was predeceased by his parents and other loved ones who now welcome him home.
Sal was immensely proud of his Italian heritage, a lifelong Frank Sinatra fan who truly lived life "his way." Whether on family vacations to Lake George, Disney World, or a special trip to Hawaii, Sal's joy was found in time spent with those he loved. He never missed a game or a milestone-his presence was loud, proud, and full of heart.
Known for his one-liners, spirited debates, and unwavering generosity, Sal was the first to show up when someone needed help-and often the last to leave. He leaves behind a legacy of strength, laughter, loyalty, and unconditional love.
