Default The passing of Ron Vitro
Hi Gang:

I just got this note from another collector:

I'm sorry I have some bad news. Ron Vitro from E & R Galleries in New Rochelle has passed away yesterday at age 80. He did hundreds of BB card shows since 1980.

Condolences to his family

Very sorry to hear of this. Ron was one of the great guys with some really oddball stuff sometimes. I always enjoyed my chats with him and his son at the National, over the years. RIP good man....

Wow - that's a bummer!

I bought a bunch of stuff from him over the years: Goudeys, Tattoo Orbits, American Caramels, Neilsons, T205s. Even bought an N172 Seery from his wife (Edna?) when Ron missed a show I was at. He went back to the Gloria Rothstein shows in White Plains and the shows at Giant Stadium.

He was a good man!

RIP!

Always smiling, what a nice guy he was! I think Ron was set up at every show I ever went to or set up at. Another chunk of hobby history gone...

Ron was a good friend and we transacted business too many times to count. He had some heart issues a number of years back , but he fought back and kept on enjoying life and our hobby with his wife and Family. Saw him last fall in White plains. Sad news to hear. My condolences to his family and his many friends.

I am really sorry to hear this. I enjoyed talking with him at the White Plains shows and Wilmington when he set up there. He was very knowledgeable and fair to deal with both selling and buying. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of this loss. As the Hobby grows and time goes by we continue to lose these iconic dealers.
