Yes it is very sad. With the passing now of Chuck Ianni and earlier of Miguel Serrano we have lost two of the best insect dealers ever.
I started buying insects from Chuck and Connie Ianni in 1977 which was soon after they bought the business from Dan Capps. My first invoice was #0026. I continued buying from them for over two decades. My file folder for price lists, orders, and invoices for pre internet purchases from Chuck and Connie is 2 1/2 inches thick. My last numbered invoice I found was in 1998 # 14086.
I placed my first order with Miguel Serrano from his 1974 price list when he was in El Salvador. Then from 1975 to 1981 he was living in Costa Rica and selling insects. Later he and his family moved to Florida where he continued on. I just found his obituary which tells what an exceptional person Miguel was: www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/tampa-fl/miguel-serrano-chinchilla-7415790 . My file folder for price lists, orders, and invoices for pre internet purchases for Miguel is 3 inches thick.
Thank you Chuck, Connie, and Miguel for providing so much enjoyment to my life over so many years.
