'That’s it for the Conte Family,” Conte’s daughter, Erin, wrote on Facebook. '
'Officials subsequently announced a $1 million fund to aid flood victims — but it’s still unclear if the Conte family will be eligible. '

'The Contes opened Hippos: The House of Billiards 30 years ago in Yorkville, NY. As of Friday, however, the family was forced to shut its doors after sustaining flood damage. '
