What an amazing man who left a lasting imprint on all those he encountered. His warmth was contagious

Vinny was truly the greatest and I am so sad to hear of his passing. Not only was he the warmest, most hilarious, intelligent person, he was the snappiest dresser with the best tan I’ve ever seen. His excellent colorful clothing choices could still not overpower his extraordinary charm though. He was one of a kind and will be missed.

Vinny was such a vibrant, wonderful man. I always loved hearing stories about him from Mia when we were in college and whenever I spent time with him, he was as warm, welcoming and funny as she described him. My deepest sympathies and love to Mia, Geoffrey, Annie, Anne, Greg, Mike, and all the Ricchiuti clan.

Uncle Vinny was such a huge presence in our family. He was the pride of all his siblings and cherished by each and every one of them. As the baby of a very large Italian family he was doted on and never lacking for attention. Growing up he was always the fun uncle with a larger than life personality. He was there for every one of us when we were sick with a calm demeanor and always offering loving support. His home in La Jolla was a gathering place for many family holidays and many memories...

Vinny was the life of the party. He welcomed everyone with open arms and being around him was always a joy. I hope he is his best shade of tan, wearing a bright colored polo shirt, drinking a martini and watching down on all of us from above. Much love to Anne, Greg, Mike, Annie, Geoffrey and the rest of the family.

This is all so true. Vinny was absolutely phenomenal. With all those accomplishments he was still the most humble and real person you could find. Vinny was like a second Father to me and my whole childhood is filled with the most joyous of memories of us all together. The sense of humor that he had is still something I treasure and use on a daily basis. He loved all things funny and smart and many jokes or things I say today I can credit to Vinny. What an incredible man. He was so full of...
