Hey all. This is hard to type. Friday night I heard from James "Rocket" Rispoli that his mom had passed away. Many of you have had the pleasure of meeting her at the races, cheering on James, and feeding us ice cream and cake. Aaron Brown sent me the following message from Phil Rispoli. We are all very saddened by the news and are sending our thoughts, prayers, and support to the Rispoli family. To my dear friends and colleagues. It is with a heavy heart I inform you that my best friend and wife of over 30 years Loretta passed away yesterday at the age of 51. She has been a pillar of strength for me, my children and everyone she has touched. She was a nurse and care-giver for the better part of 35 years. She was a founder with me of our Coolskunk KyDs Racing program and was instrumental in our direction and success over the last (8) years. I want to thank you so much for your prayers and support. She will be greatly missed. Philip Marley Funeral Home Inc 135 Main street Attica, NY 14011 585 591 1212 Hours Monday 7-9 Tuesday 2-4 and 7-9 Wed service 10 AM
