My deepest sympathies to Bonnie, Angie and Sara and family on the loss of your beloved Vince. He was a great neighbor to our family and I will always have fond memories of him. He was very smart, very kind, and had a big heart. The last time I spoke to Vince was at my dad's funeral. I told him I was glad he bought my dad's white Ranger truck, as I knew it would be taken care of, just like my dad would have cared for it. Well done good and faithful servant. Rest in peace. May God grant you all peace and comfort.

I have very fond memories of Vince from when he was a part time mathematics instructor at Sinclair Community College. He was a fine teacher, always friendly and energetic and his students always did very well. He was active n the life of the department and he offered useful suggestions that we implemented in the department. He and I had many casual conversations together and I always enjoyed and looked forward to encountering him. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My sincerest condolences to his family.
