HELLO everybody this is Bobby you might know me. Anyway Rich was a great racer and dedicated to kart racing and safety.He was one of those people in a caution area who would throw his hand high in the air to make sure everybody knew that something happened, what a great sportsman.I remember when he first came to our shop his phrase was”my Kingdom for a kart” so Brad and I did our best to get him into karting, the sport he loved.Yes ever since his accident the TAG Masters class here would do a missing racer formation with a Checkered Flag flying all around our track. It was breath taking if you were there.Everybody was at the fence clapping.Well, Rich is racing with the best now.Race on Rich I`m going Green Green Green….!!! See you in Heaven.Sorry ,if you know me I might not make it there..!!!
Well it is hard for me to put into words what I have to say about my pisano Rich. I met him and competed against him for 8 years. He was always borrowing things but that was just fine with me because I knew at the end of the day he would always come up to me and talk about his day in a way that a young passionate kid would and that is the Rich I will remember. If you go and read some of his posts you will see he was a real man that never mixed words, he told it like it is. This world would be a better place if it had more Rich Vito’s in it, I will miss the won we just lost, very much. Vedremo in cielo miei Pisano!
God bless you Gayle and family
Jay Jacobellis and family
It was such a nice service and an amazing turn out. The parking lot overflowed, the streets around the church were full!
It was nice to see so many paying their respects to Rich and his Family.
Hey All:
It was nice seeing # 51 up there on the stage, did Rich ever love that number! I teased him once I was goign to take it but he told me first I had to BE that old to TAKE that number! Does anyone have a photo of him without his helmet on? Rich’s smile is what I’ll always remember. Good to see the support for Rich there at the memorial service.
