Very sad news - Pino Ledda
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 Jeff Last edited by shoeless; 09-09-2017 at 10:46 PM. |

So Sad
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 Bill |

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. Ted

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. Richie

and told her about people leaving their condolences here. She told me to tell everyone than you very much. |
