Shocking news

Holy Jesus! That's really numbing news. Brilliant bookstore that Santo runs - I would pop in there probably four or five times a year. Always such a lovely bloke, and his parents were often there helping out, along's with Santo's dog. Like myself, he was a Prahran fan.

I'm an irregular visitor to the store but I remember both of Santo's parents helping out - all of them lovely polite people. It's a shocking thing to happen and my condolences to the family.

Condolences to Santo. Tough times for him and his family. Always a regular at Williamstown Vs North Ballarat. Good friend to many country people.

I saw this as well and my jaw dropped straight away. I often visit his store and he's always happy to have a chat. Condolences to Santo and his family.

That is horrible - I have a friend who moved to Vic 20 years ago who took me to the Melb sport store when he first moved there. Awesome place - a place with soul, the reason people are in to and follow sport. My thoughts are with the family from Tassie

I was talking to Santo on sunday at Preston at Bullants & Port game while at the food canteen so sorry to hear of this bad news my thoghts to Santo and his family. Go Borough!

Grief. She used to work at the shop too. R.I.P.

Customer of Santo's since 1992 and shattered by the tragic news. Condolences to all members of the Caruso family and their friendship circle.
