  • Bob has been a friend for almost 20-years, he was one of my first friends at Mass Striped Bass when I joined. He will be missed by everyone that ever had the pleasure of meeting him. He was such a helpful, giving, outgoing and just amazing person. He touched the lives of so many kids through his endless and tireless work with the MSBA youth program, the Striper Swipers. He introduced countless youngsters to the sport of fishing and helped many of them catch their first fish ever and he got genuinely as excited as the kids were the first time they would hook up. His smile and his laughter were contagious, and we are all better people just for knowing him. Rest easy my friend.

  • Already miss you so much, Dad. You were a wonderful man, father and grandfather. All our great memories will you keep you alive in our hearts. Rest in the sweetest peace, Love, SheShe ❣️

  • My entire family of 6 just loved this man!
    This one really hurts!
    Selfless is the word I think of when I hear the name Bob Pizzi. He couldn’t do enough for MSBA and the kids in Striper Swipers. We loved seeing that great smile when all my children would show up for one of his mystery trips.
    He was a fishing savant who just wanted to share his knowledge because he loved fishing and loved people even more.
    The world was a better place with him in it and he will be sorely missed
    Tight Lines my friend!
