Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, a life-long resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota, succumbed Sunday evening to an unknown illness. He was 14 months.
A Betta fish, Jarrod is survived by his human mother, Lauren Poulter, human step-father Ryan Glanzer, and roommate-family Sarah Domenichetti, Roscoe Domenichetti and Nick Sandbulte.
Jarrod was known by all to be a kind and scholarly fish. His brief life was punctuated by some excitement; at age 3 months he was nearly murdered by a cat. His happiest moments were when he was fed and when he was given fresh water to swim around in.
A memorial service is planned for 8:30 pm on Monday evening, December 8th in the downstairs bathroom of his Minneapolis home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Poulter-Glanzer Fish Memorial Fund.
The editorial staff would like to make note that Jarrod Saltalamacchia is alive, well, and training for the 2009 baseball season in the Palm Beach, Florida area.

So sorry to hear about your fish. We lost one not too long ago, so I can understand what your going through. Any loss is hard, keep your head held high today dear. Hope all went well with the memorial service.

Sorry to hear about your loss...We've had a few fish in our tank for about 11 months now, and haven't had a single casualty. I'm quite stunned, actually, as we tried parenting fish before and had horrible luck. So bad, in fact, that I made Calvin take the entire tank down and put it in storage for over a year...I simply couldn't stand the thought of finding one more 'floater' while he was gone at school!! *shudder*
How thoughful of you to hold a service, and to write this piece in his honor. I'm sure he's very happy in his new big aquarium (or bowl) in the sky. :c)
