voix leur sympathie, je voudrais exprimer à son épouse, Pina, à ses enfants ainsi qu'à ses petits-enfants, nos plus sincères condoléances et l'assurance de notre fidèle amitié; comme eux, nous sommes bouleversés par le départ soudain de celui qui, malgré son titre de sénateur, demeurera toujours pour la plupart d'entre nous, tout simplement et affectueusement Pietro.
On behalf of all the friends of Senator Pietro Rizzuto, on behalf of the thousands who filed past his coffin, on behalf of all those in Canada, in Mexico, and in Italy, his native Sicily in particular, all those who knew him and were prevented by distance from coming to express their sympathies in person, I would like to express to his widow, Pina, his children and grandchildren, our most sincere condolences and the assurance of our faithful friendship. We were as shocked as they at the sudden passing of someone who, despite his title of Senator, will remain in the memories of almost all of us quite simply and affectionately as Pietro.
