Vinny Ferraiolo found dead in his store

[Rhasputin]

I don't know if anyone has heard, or even if anyone on this forum knows who Vinny is. But apparently he was found dead in his store, 'Off the Ark'.
I don't have much to say, but Virginia really lost a good person.

Sorry to hear this.

Sad. I wonder how he died.

Sad. I wonder how he died.

Someone on another forum who knew him very personally said it was a heart attack. With him being alone in the store at the time, nobody was there to get him help in time.

I just found this out as well. Our community lost a very integral person. So very sad.

So sad. He will be greatly missed by this community.

There are some pictures from the vigil held for him last night over on the VAHerps forum at http://www.vaherps.com/t5103-off-the...ner-found-dead.

I just learned about this via Facebook. Vinny was a good friend to me and is the one that got me started in the Reptile Industry. I am deeply saddened to hear about his loss and I sorely regret not being able to attend his funeral.

I've never spoken to him but I know who he was. That's a sad loss for the community.
