Vincent "Jimi" Riggio

Jimi was a big hearted man and full of life. Our sincerest condolences to the Riggio family on your loss.

Joann and Jake, I am so sorry for your loss. I have nothing but wonderful memories of Jimi. He was such a caring man. My love and prayers to the two of you.

Dear Jimi,
I loved you like a brother, and shared so many things wit you that I cannot begin to list them all. So many Yankee opening days and so many playoff and World Series games together at the old and the new Yankee Stadium. I know you will have great seats for them in heaven. With all my love, to you, Joann and Jake, God bless the entire family,
Love,
David

Jimi,

You were such a dear soul and I will miss you so much! Your name came up in our meeting this morning with the announcement about your passing. I was so shocked and saddened. I remember when you and I took Jake and Sienna to Roosevelt Island to play tennis and then we had dinner together afterwards at Gorginos. I am so glad that you took the trip to Africa with Jake. Those will be memories he cherishes of you forever. I will miss you and so will all of your friends on Fulton...

My Condolences to the RIggio Family

One of my fondest memories of Jimi goes back to the late 70's-there was a fall football game between the Main Store-105 and the Sale Annex.
Brawn (105) vs. Brain (Jimi's Sale Annex).
However, what Brawn didn't know that Jimi did: my brother Charlie Golden had been a high school football star. Jimi plotted their unsuspected victory, and yes, they won.
It still makes me smile to remember Jimi's and Charlie's elated faces-both gone now but never forgotten.
With love Maureen Golden

Just the evening before I heard this saddening news, I was reminiscing about Jimi with a friend who never knew him. Honestly, I will never forget his festive enthusiasm and spontaneous acts of kindness even during times of extreme bookstore busyness. I haven't seen him in years, but those inspiriting memories never dim.

Dear Joann and Jake,
I was so very sad to hear that Jimi has passed away. I am truly saddened. He was a dear friend. I will always think of him as a loving and kind individual with fun and love in his heart. What a great loss for you.
My thoughts and deep sorrow go out to you and you family.
Sincerely,
Mary C. Golden
