Bisognano, Philip J.
COLONIE - Philip J. Bisognano, 94, of Colonie, died Sunday, November 23, 2025, at Evergreen Commons Nursing Center, in East Greenbush. Born in Albany, Phil was the son of the late Carmela Sofia and Joseph Bisognano. He was a lifelong resident of Colonie. He worked for 30 years as a school bus driver for the South Colonie School District, and was loved by the students that he drove to and from school, because he was the first driver to put a radio in his bus. Phil was also a life member of the West Albany Fire Department.
Phil was the twin brother of the late Anthony J. Bisognano, and also brother of Sam Bisognano and the late Andrew Bisognano, Joseph Bisognano and Catherine Rose Bisognano. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Anne Rexford Bisognano; and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at the Reilly & Son Funeral Home, Colonie. Burial will be in Our Lady of Angels Cemetery in Colonie. Calling hours will be Monday, 4 to 7 p.m., in the funeral home.
Phil's family would like to thank Anne for all of the care she provided to him. For those who wish, memorial contributions to the West Albany Fire Department, 113 Sand Creek Rd., Albany, N.Y. 12205, would be appreciated.
