So sorry to hear of Vince passing. He was my best friend at Kenton Ridge. We had many adventures together and I have many treasured memories. My deepest condolences to his Mom, Mark & Vicki.
Unfortunately we lost touch after I moved away and we both went into the USAF, myself in 1980 and Vince in 82.
I will never forget him, his sense of humor, and his musical skills. Many a tune we listened to in the old VW van.

Really sorry to hear. My deepest condolences to you Suzi, Mark and Vicky. Your family was a very integral part of my youth. Can't help myself from sharing a funny story I've cherished over the years... Vince and I had been asked to play with the NEHS Choir at a performance @ North Ridge Middle School. I drove the Lodestarmobile (Kenny's Travel-All) with our equipment. While returning to NEHS, we followed the activity bus. I had the idea I would crawl out the driver's window and go over the roof into the passenger window. I told Vince to drive. He was 15 and looked at me like, "you've got to be kidding"... I wasn't... as I let go of the wheel and told him "He'd better drive"... he asked, "What if I have to stop?".... my response was... "DON'T"... we made it through that episode... He'll be sorely missed and I pray peace to you all.... Gary

As children we played laughed sang and danced. As adults we drift away from our youth, childhood friends become acquaintance that we knew. Yet the love we felt and the memories we created time will never remove. I am thankful for Vince being a piece of the puzzle that is life. May God rest your soul and bring comfort to all that are grieving this loss. I pray for your mom sister Vicki and brother Mark. Love from Beth (Merchant) Cunningham
