Very sad news - Pino Ledda

[shoeless]

Giuseppe Ledda (aka Pino ,GL45) passed away on Thursday after
a long fight with cancer

He was a long time member here and going back to VDC Messenger
where I first met him and was like a older brother to me who I will
deeply miss.

I will always remember him on a Pace and Cap meeting at Pimlico
picking a $100.00 winner at Delaware with Synergism 2 that Richie
P had gotten us to use. We were also with Bill V and his Dad who Pino
really enjoyed being with.

To me this is what Pace and Cap is about meeting new people who become
lifelong friends

I love you Pino and hope that you find peace in your final resting place

what a sad day for us all,
Jeff I know how close you were to Pino

This is so sad, Pino always had such kind words in our private conversations,
I got to know Pino from our gatherings at Laurel and Pimlico.

We stayed in contact ever since. Each letter included good prayers for my late mom and Pino was a big fan of my dads.

He had such a kind heart, I remember of course his great ability as a handicapper, But I also remember how he escorted us using a back road short cut out of Laurel, I know this puts him way out of his way,

It's sad because I know Pino was fighting for a long time. He just recently
wrote and sent me a detailed Parx track profile he had compiled
He was really looking forward to Parx reopening, He was a hard worker


Pino was one of my very first members of the old VDC Messenger Service

Rest In Peace Giuseppe

Sad to hear.
Prayers for his family, and you too, Jeff. I know he was a very dear friend to you.

My deepest sympathies to Pino's family and his friends.

Whatever 'words' Pino and I may have had over the years, I believe they were all resolved respectfully and amicably. We spoke and corresponded several times. I am grateful to him for the great skill and understanding of various Sartin and other methodologies which he shared with us in this community.

And - grateful for that recommendation he gave to me of his old friend in Rome who runs an amazing restaurant which we visited in 2010 - amazing pizza!

Go in peace Pino, in the great Beyond.

I am so sorry to learn of Pino's passing, I had no idea he was that sick. He was a gentleman, family man and a really good friend if he liked you.

My condolences to Lori and his family and friends(Jeff and Bill V in particular) during this difficult time.

I saw Mr. Ledda's obituary in my local newspaper the York Daily Record. It turns out he lived about 5 miles from me and I didn't even know it. I would have loved to have met him and talked about horses and life. Rest in peace.

I just spoke to my friend Mike, and was told that my friend Pino had passed away. I knew he had been very sick but I was surprised and devastated to hear the sad news.
He was a good friend to me and I will miss him.
I hope he is in a better place.
God bless his soul. May he rest in peace.
My condolences to his family.

It's now Oct 31 2017, and i learn of my friend Pino's passing. We never met
in person, but talked on the phone and via email over many years. Pino was
a straight shooter, and a gentleman. I was trying to contact him yesterday,
when notified of his transition. My condolences to his entire family.

sincerely, Bob and Wanda Cochran
