My best friend and pool coach passed away this morning. "Ronnie V" Ron Vitello taught me so much about pool, poker and life in general that it's hard to put into words. He gave me my first 90/90 pool lesson over the phone and I couldn't believe how well it worked so I asked for an in person lesson in NYC.
After my first in person lesson, Ron told me that he would teach me for free if I would ever make the trip to NYC again. Of course, I drove back and forth to NYC for lessons countless times, dragging as many of my friends along as humanly possible, like Donny Perryman, Dave Stem, Joe Stem, Mike Lambros, Marc Segal and whoever else I could squeeze in my car.
Not only was Ron the most generous person I've ever met, he was without a doubt one of the very top pool instructors in the world and was a true genius. His 90/90 aiming system and his other pool knowledge will live on forever, long after he's gone.
RIP RONNIE-V... We love ya!
