Longtime Charlottesville pediatrician and father of Congressman Tom Perriello, Dr. Vito Perriello died today after suffering two strokes this past week.
He practiced in the city and surrounding communities for over 40 years.
Tom Perriello released a statement about his father’s passing: “I appreciate the hundreds of supportive calls and notes during this devastating week, and most of all your prayers for my family. My father’s legendary integrity and sense of service will be missed not just by our family and but also by our entire community. I hope to spend decades trying to match his ceaseless lived commitment to our common humanity. Please keep my mother Linda, his loving wife of over 43 years, in your prayers.”
