This is what Middlesex County college's website has up for my friend Vinny Desario. As an experience life insurance agent Medini Financial has seen its fair share of what the insurance industry calls "Claims". Bottom line is these are real people, not just a claim. When tragedy happens to someone it affects so many others. It was tragic to lose "skinny vinny", or "Barbers" as some knew him. Having worked with my clients helping them with their loss I know how difficult this can be for families and friends. Sadly Vinny was the first person I knew who had died who was younger than me and it took a toll on me. When we lose someone we love it is always difficult in all aspects physically, emotionally and financially it often becomes an issue as well. So when dealing with an agent make sure you find someone who truly cares about your situation and has you set up so you at least don't have to worry about the financial aspect. Make sure you are working with someone who cares about your family and their needs, frankly people look at headlines and disengage, and dissociate from the fact that we are all interconnected whether we like it or not.


Medini Financial would ask that if you have any resources what so ever please forward them to the Vincent Desario Charitable trust Bottom line here Vinny Desario was a great kid and our loss is tragic, and something like this will take a big toll financially on my friends family. So please dont just read the headlines without thinking about who is behind them. In this case Vinny was not just some kid he was bright student, an avid golfer, and a stout optimist. Any support you have will be much appreciated
