Some personalities shine in a crowd, drawing others to them. These are the memorable meetings, the ones who stand out, the voices that resonate. Few embody this as much as Victor (Vic) Savanello, Jr. Whenever I run into Vic, he meets me with a strong handshake and a warm smile. He has a sharp mind and, if possible, a sharper wit. And man, does he know produce and floral. As rich as these encounters are, they always feel as though I have only scratched the surface of Vic’s personality. So, when presented with the opportunity, I had to ask him a list of what IF’s...
