In Memoriam By
Vibiana Pizano Smith and Jaclyn Pizano Smith | Thu Apr 16, 2015 | 12:00am
Alberto Pizano was a multitalented man. He founded nonprofits, he was an artist, and he was an intellectual. He could lay tile, build a block wall, paint, and sculpt. He was an avid reader, and his library of books is extensive and amazing. Before his death, he was reading his favorite book, Moby Dick, for the fourth time. He had a particular passion for history and could tell you anything you wanted to know without having to look it up. But where he truly excelled and demonstrated great talent was in his ability to communicate through the written word.
Our family wishes to share excerpts from some of his many writings to give you a more personal glimpse of a man whom we proudly call dad, grandpa, father-in-law, and husband.
