DR. PETER RIZZI

I miss you so much, Dad. Some days life goes on, and some days it hits me so hard that you´re not here. And especially now that it´s just about 5 years since you´ve been gone.

I´d love your thoughts and advice on so much these days. I´ll keep trying to listen for it. Love you madly. Tania

Think of you every day, Dad.
Love you and miss you,
Vanessa xo

Miss you everyday. You are forever in my heart. I love you, Dad.

My dear Peter,
Everyday I think about what you would be doing during this quarantine time: watching old masters golf tournaments, boxing bouts, horse races and other sporting events as well programs on the history channel. You would be listening to operas with the volume up loud. And you would be inventing impossible mathematical problems and then writing pages and pages of formulae to try to solve them. This whole experience would be so much more bearable if you were here with me. I miss you so much. Your one true love, Judy

It is with incredible sadness that I found news of passing of Dr. Peter Rizzi, late tonight, 9-10 April 2020.
Dr. Rizzi was my electrical engineering class teacher at UMASS Dartmouth during 1975-1976. He also taught us microwave engineering. Incredibly sharp, knowledgeable, intelligent, Compassionate and was an excellent teacher, to teach you so you learn. To this date I remember his words, sounds, and actions and standing in front of the blackboard and with tremendous respect, he would carry the class for the entire time with love and affection. I am very saddened to read this, accidently as I was in search of my professors from 1970s at UMASS Dartmouth. I can't say how many times I think of all my professors from UMASSD. I miss Dr. Rizzi immensely. God bless him, his incredible respect for all of us student in the class he would go on speak, introduce ideas, write, turn back and ask if all is clear. He was so kind and respectful and a genuine love to get to know you and teach and make sure you learn it. God Bless him, his family and let his memories live forever. I remember most of my teachers in my life, their influence to learn but also that tremendous respect for a fellow human being. Dr. Rizzi spoke to you with passion and respect which helps to always remember him and think of him with incredible affection and smile. Dr. Peter Rizzi, with Love, respect, and heartfelt memories. I miss you Sir. I am so sad to learn this. R.I.P.

I didn't know you had passed. I had a dream new years eve that you came to say goodbye. I started searching and found you had passed 2 years ago. As a child you were my hero. You noticed me and paid attention to ME. In a big family, it meant everything. The presents, the visits. I will always love that big smile, it makes me smile everytime I picture it. I will always regret that I didn't get to see you before you left us. I will alwats love you.
peace and love forever

I miss you, Dad. Love you madly.❤

Five months have somehow passed without you, Dad. I miss you so much, maybe even more than before.

I am so sorry for your great loss. Though, Judy, I have not seen you since you left the neighborhood, I am in touch with Priscilla. Had I not had right leg muscle problems, I would have gone to the memorial service. I wish you well.

Any positive characteristic I possess, I owe to you, Dad. I am forever grateful that you were my father and Addy and Lily were able to have such a caring, loving, funny, generous grandfather. Words aren't enough-
Love. Love. Love.

I was so sad to hear about Peter's loss and so glad that I got to know him in such a brief period. I can not say enough of him, intelligent, loving and fun to be around. Peter will be missed but will always be around us.

I shall always have a loving memory of Peter Rizzi. I loved him like a brother. A kind, generous guy who loved the things we shared: golf, sports, politics, economics and a great sense of humor. We learned from and taught each other. I was a major recipient of Peter's wisdom, knowledge and intelligence. Peter was my friend. Our periodic breakfasts, our playing sports trivia, our ping-pong games and our wonderful delight over a good laugh was the epitome of our relationship. I will miss Peter the rest of my life. A friend like Peter is a treasure. I loved him.

Tony, I am so sorry for your loss and that of your entire family. Fascinating obituary, what a brilliant and accomplished man he was. I especially love the part about his big smile, gleaming eye and knack for storytelling. The apple doesn't fall far.....

My oldest and dearest friend in the whole world whom we adopted in our family as a 5th brother.
He was a wonderful and caring person and a joy to have with me in my lifetime.
We had close family ties and I had the pleasure of playing golf with him often over these many years.
He was always there for me and we shared many good times. He was a brilliant person who I always looked up to when help was needed.
Truly one of the best!

Judy,

I am so sadden to hear of Peter's passing. I feel so blessed that I just saw him. He was an amazing individual from his pleasant disposition to his remarkable intellect. My fondest memory of Peter was playing ping pong with him. He will be truly missed.
