JEFFREY M. RIZZO

Dear Elmira,Terri,Ken,Micheal and Spencer: I was very sorry to see that Jeff had passed. He was such a pleasure to know. He always had a kind word. I spent many hour and many words,thoughts and a few laughs too. He will always have a favorite spot in my memories. I know he suffered a bit. He faced each day with as much positivity as possible. I''m truly sorry for your loss.

To the Rizzo family - I'm sad to say I lost touch with Jeff some time ago, after high school, and I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. He'll always stand out as one of the bright spots of my school days. . .I still remember trading CD's with him, including the first I ever owned. For the record, "Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense. . ." which I've still got. I also remember that no matter what challenges he was facing that he always did so with a smile. The world has lost someone special.

I will always remember catching George A. Romero movies in the city with Jeff. Wow, what great and fun memories. There are so many high school laughs to remember...My prayers to the family!

To the Rizzo family. I am sorry to learn of Jeff's death. He has been on my mind a lot these last twenty years; he was always a strong and quiet hero.

I am so sorry that Jeff is gone. I was just showing my kids Halloween pictures of Jeff as "Boy George." He always made us laugh. Our thoughts are with you.

To the Rizzo family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jeff was a great friend to me through high school, helping me through many classes. Especially French class, because I knew with Jeff we would laugh our way through it. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Rizzo family, Jeff and I became friends in a T.V. productions class at N.A. in the late 80's. I was not the best student at the time, but Jeff was, and with a lot of patience He got me through that semester. I will always remember Jeff, and his gentle nature and kindness. My most heartfelt condolences. Eric - Class of 1987

Although it's been years since I last spoke to Jeff he has always been in my thoughts and it saddens me to learn of his passing...my most heartfelt condolences to the Rizzo family
