John Valluzzo, who died during shooting in Ridgefield on Friday, was founder of Military Museum of Southern New England
On Friday afternoon, shots were fired at a home on Ridgebury Road resulting in the death of 75 year old, John Valluzzo. Mr. Valluzzo happened to be the founder of the Military Museum of Southern New England which is based in Danbury. The museum, which opened in 1995 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of our nation's military history, will honor its founder by remaining open to the public on this Memorial Day weekend. The Museum released the following statement:
Sorrow fills our hearts at this sad moment. A sorrow that is deep and personal for all of us. The news of the untimely death of John Valluzzo comes as a great shock to all who knew him. His departure was sudden, unexpected and particularly distressing. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Valluzzo family. Until we have all had a chance to comprehend fully the impact of this senseless tragedy, we will have no further comment to make on the behalf of the museum.
