Hey Beautiful Theatricals.


Some of you have already seen this sad news posted on Facebook. Our beloved colleague and dear brother Reginald Cleo Pizana passed away Wednesday, December 17, 2014. He was a good friend, husband, father, son and man. He loved to laugh and he loved life. Cleo was an exemplary soul who made you feel better just from being around him. We send prayers to his loving wife Lisa Marie Pizana, their two beautiful children, his family and a host of friends and colleagues. Man oh man, when I think of this dude I smile. You are beloved, my friend. Always. God's blessings, brother.


Your Brother
In Comedy & Tragedy,
JR

From David Emerson Toney:


Many of you know how much I loved the man in this picture. He was my friend. He was my brother. He was my blood. There will never be his like again. It is with great sadness and gratefulness that I say that my dearest and best friend Reginald Cleo Pizana died on Wednesday morning, December 17, 2014. Honor him by doing as he did in his too short life. Love, baby. Love like there is no tomorrow.
