Just read on VRF - Passing of Marcello Pisani

A great person that was so willing to share his knowledge with top collectors and the "little guy" as well. He will be greatly missed!

Thoughts and prayers go to his Family!

Very sad news indeed. My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.

Marcello was a true gentleman and as stated above, he was more than willing to help out anyone with questions. Marcello helped me purchase my first vintage piece. He answered my many questions and gave terrific advice. He was always willing to give his opinion and share his knowledge. This is a big loss to our community.

Words cannot express the loss to us all. A true gentleman and a friend to all collectors. So willing to help the expert and beginner alike.

The likes of him will never pass this way again. Prayers to his family.

We've lost a true champion in our community. Marcello was always willing to answer even the most trivial of questions; the number of people he's helped along the way is staggering. He will be missed. RIP
