I knew Vinny for probably 20 years or more from the regular stud games at the Taj and more recently Borgata. He was only 45.


Rest in peace.

Horrible. RIP.

RIP

Way too young. RIP

Was this the tall skinny dude that was very loud, nice guy if I got the right guy. Shame he was so young. Anyone know what happened to him?

R.I.P. Vinny Whispers.

Great guy. Always was available if you needed a room on his comp and refused to take a nickel for it.

I was having trouble getting a room at the Borgata a couple of weeks ago so I called him several times. He always answered his phone with a sweet, witty comment so I was puzzled that I had called him 3-4 times and kept getting a random vm message.

When I got to the Borgata and asked for him, I was advised he died from Esaphogeal cancer. He played stud right up to the end, carting his machines with him to the table.

My heart goes out to his beautiful and steadfast wife Louisa, who was a poker dealer at the Tropicana. My sincerest condolences to his whole family.

I never once saw Vinny get angry or rude no matter how bad a beat you put on him. He had this huge smile that lit up the whole room. So sad.

Wow 45 is way too young damn. Was he a smoker?

Horrible to hear, RIP.
