_"As a builder, developer and businessman, Joseph Canizaro made a significant contribution to the vibrancy of New Orleans. His vision over several decades continues to be visible throughout the region, extending from the Riverfront and Central Business District to our suburbs. As well-known to all were his business endeavors, Joseph's great Catholic faith and commitment to many charitable causes also made our city a better place. Our thoughts and prayers go to Sue Ellen and the Canizaro family."_
