Obituary of Francesco Bizzotto

Francesco “Frank” Bizzotto, age 75, beloved husband of Silvana D’Atri Bizzotto, died peacefully, surrounded by his family on May 25, 2022 at Griffin Hospital.  Born in Rosà, Province of Vicenza, Italy on June 3, 1946, he was the son of the late Calisto and Assunta Ferracin Bizzotto.

Mr. Bizzotto immigrated to the United States in 1970 and settled in Derby before moving to Seymour 46 years ago.  He was a co-owner of A&F builders with his brother Antonio.  He was a skilled craftsman and carpenter for many years.  Mr. Bizzotto enjoyed making his own wine, jarring mushrooms and could often be found at the Sons and Daughters of Italy Lodge of Derby playing cards or bocce.  He will be long remembered for his remarkable work ethic and for his special love for his family.
