Bruno M. Rizzo

Bruno M Rizzo, 81 years old, of Twin Lakes, WI, (Naples, FL) was called to his eternal home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Born March 30, 1945, in Milwaukee, WI, he was the cherished son of the late Joseph J. and Rita Rizzo.

Bruno earned his bachelor’s degree from Notre Dame University and later his Juris Doctorate from Marquette University. Bruno proudly served his country in the U S Armed forces until he was honorably discharged in 1971.

On 12/12 (at 12:00 noon) 1970, he married the love of his life, Alice Notar, beginning a beautiful 56-year adventure of love, faith, travel and family. Bruno founded the law firm Rizzo & Diersen, S.C., where he had great fulfillment in serving and representing clients in Southeastern Wisconsin. He was involved with his church, Bible studies, business, local government, and cheered on Notre Dame and Packers football. Bruno’s presence was bigger than life and a voice that sang out with gusto. World travelled with his wife, Bruno truly never met a stranger. He leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and laughter that will never be forgotten.

Bruno is survived by his loving wife, Alice Rizzo; three adoring children who carry his faith forward, Nicole L. Rizzo, (Charlie Skendziel), Paul J. Rizzo, and Phillip B. Rizzo; and nine precious grandchildren who were his absolute pride and joy: Zoe, Max, Alexander, Harrison, Elliott, Dominic, Sarah, John, and Brady, and two sisters: Irene Ouimet and Nicky Buss. He also had a myriad of nieces and nephews that he treasured dearly.

A memorial gathering to celebrate his life will be held on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at Proko Funeral Home from 10:00 am. to 12:00 pm., with a Celebration of Life service 12:00 pm.
