Ann. Joseph A. Venuti Jr. Scholarship Fund Announcement

This is awesome to see. Back in 2009, I was still kind of new to the hobby, I was lucky enough to get connected with Joe through some BRS members. We went to MACNA together, and I spent the drive and event learning from Joe and getting to meet hobby insiders, it was an amazing time, and a memory I will never forget. Just getting back into the hobby, I am sad to hear of his passing, but it is great to see this scholarship in his name.
I am just getting back in and got a lot of hacks from Joe. Good ones. Money saving tips. He would always get you to sit down in his kitchen if you came to get something. I never minded though. Great conversationalist. I was super sad to hear of his passing. I was messaging him just before he passed during Covid because of his emphysema, but he always replied he was “fine”. He is sorely missed by many.
