Seeing these loving notes brings back wonderful memories of Pastor Vinny. What a gift to us all.

After all these years, we still miss our Pastor Vinny with his great sense of humor and real pastor's heart. He genuinely loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and was a true servant of God. May God continue to comfort your family knowing that he's in His presence with your Mom and experiencing complete peace. What a gift he was from God to our church and to
everyone who knew him. One day......

Thank you for sharing your dear Vinny with us. We know He loved you very much. He sought to protect you And honor you. I served under His ministry as He sought to bring the love and kindness of our Lord Jesus to hurting people. He has a tender heart for us and others. He blessed us by lifting up the name of the Lord Jesus..

a year ago i wrote on this book page about my grandpa; a year ago from yesterday was when my grandpa passed. so now i want to share my final thoughts before this page comes to an end. my grandpa was an amazing person, to his family and to his friends. he believed in a lot of values, he believed strongly in love. he was a great father to my father, my aunt, and my uncle. my father tells me so much about him, how much of a great dad grandpa was, how grandpa was his best friend. my grandpa was like my best friend growing up, all the times i shared with him i'll never forget. i remember when we used to play monster, i remember his chair where i used to always fight with him over it and he'd tickle me until i laughed so hard tears would come from my eyes, all the special dinners, all the jokes him (and everyone else) cracked on grandma. i regret some things, i did take him for granted as i got older, i didn't really keep in contact as much as i should've. but until this day, he still stays in my heart, all of the memories stay in my head, and i'll never forget everything my grandpa has taught me and what growing up with him in my life was like and everything he's done for me. i love you grandpa and i miss you

What can I say about my grandfather that has not been said, he was a great man he influenced every person he came in contact with. I won't just remember him as my loving pastor grandfather but also as the incomparable entertainer that all closest to him knew him well for. Famous for his gift on the trumpet, I knew him best for his ability to make everyone of us laugh, just by using his surroundings. Weather poking fun at something we might have said or done or any other funny situation or experiences from the past or his wacky voices and impersonations, his Louie Armstrong was one if not the best I've ever heard. Remembering every single family event we had listening to Frank Sinatra, still to this day anytime I hear one of his songs I thank about my grandfather and the times we shared, like the funny time he tried to teach me how to play golf and never stopped apologizing for it, If it wasn't me, somebody else would bring it up and we would laugh hysterically. I'll never forget how encouraging he was about me following my dreams and aspirations saying what he could always see me becoming in the future, I felt as proud then as I do today. I love you grandpa and thank you for everything you gave us.

Dear Pat & Family,

As your guest book comes to a close, I want you all to know that you are still in my prayer requests to comfort and heal you over the loss of dear Paster Scibelli. We who are Christians know that we will see him again in Heaven some day.

God bless you all!

In Christ's Love,

I was not going to write,but after reading my fathers last sermon(eulogy for his very dear friend Bob Richardson September 13,2008)Who always called my father Brazole.I decided to share his last message.More important than my fathers legacy was my fathers message "Jesus Loves you" In his last sermon he wrote"Growing old is about losses,we lose our teeth,strength,health,spouses,parents and our friends. But there is one thing we will never lose.The love of God,because his love never grows old!!In the last sentence He wrote I look forward to the day in heaven when I hear "Hey Brazole Its about time you got here!Well they did't have to wait long to be reunited. My fathers message to me that last week was "Put it in Gods Hands" Most of us know how hard that is at times.My fathers faith and dedication to God was based on Love,He loved God as much as God loved him,Very simple,just like my Dads life.I will leave off with Dads words"Jesus Loves you and so do I"

Before this book comes to a close,The scibelli family wants to thank everyone for their thoughts,prayers and kind words.My dad was an exeptional person that touch so many lives,it has been an extremely difficult year for all of us.People say it gets easier with time,however i feel this statement is not true for everyone,this loss still feels fresh and hurts just as much as the first day.My dad told us,"when i die its going to be hard for you ,but great for me."Boy,was he right.We will see my dad again one day,untill then,we love ya dad.

Dearest Pat and family it is hard to believe that our dear brother Vinnie is gone seven months already. I am sorry for my belated response to your guest book but this is very hard for me to do. I write this with tears filling my eyes as I write. Vinnie was such an inspiration to myself and Jane as he was to so many people during his life as not only a pastor but also as a brother police officer a friend and a brother in Christ. He was a great husband, a great father and a great grandfather to his family. The day that I met Vinnie 43 years ago as a police officer in the NYCPD I knew right away that he was a special person and was different than anybody that I had ever met in my life up to that point. Although I knew he was different it was not until 13 years later that I found out what that difference was after my own conversion to Christ. It is amazing how blind we can be until God somehow opens our eyes. Well Vinnie is now at rest in his heavenly home in the loving arms of Our Saviour and we will all be reunited there someday and what a blessed day that will be. All the best to you and your entire family Pat and keep in touch we love you very much.

Although I haven't seen Reverend Scibelli in 20 years, I'm going to miss him dearly. He had a great influence on me growing up, and it was nice to know he was still out there preaching all these years later. I wished I could have visited with him one more time, just to let him know how my life turned out and how his teachings still influence my life to this day. I have many fond memories of attending his school in Glendale back in the 80's, and I guess I feel I have something to thank him for. My sincerest condolences to his family.

dear grandpa,
i know i never took the time as i got older to call or keep in contact with you and grandma. dad would always tell me everytime i talked to him to just call you. i regret how i didnt take the time to even call you not once. all the times weve had together are special, when i was a kid i looked up to you. i remember you taking me for walks down to the beach, or how we used to play monster, and how you always used to tickle me in your rocking chair, and how i used to always eat dinner with you and grandma. i dont care what anyone says, i love my grandpa more than anyone could know. i grew up with my grandpa, he holds a special place in my heart. to this day i still regret it, i regret not taking the time to call him, i regret it i do. my grandpa is the most compassionate and loving people ive met in my life. his relationship with my dad, and my aunts and uncles, and the family was amazing. he really was our best friend. i know i havent been that close to him since ive gotten older, but when he passed away my grandpa has a special place in my heart and hes never going to be forgotten by me. hes always gonna stay with me, and im never going to forget everything my grandpa has done and believed it, and how he treated our family. grandpa, we all miss you. and i wanted you to know that i love you so much and you hold a special place in my heart. i love you grandpa. merry christmas.

Often we go through life without realizing just how much our lives impact others’ for better or for worse. Reverend Vincent Scibelli was one of the first people I knew when I came to America, about 19 years ago. The impact he had on my life and my family’s life is enormous. His sermons filled with passion, sincerity and faith left deep traits in our hearts. Our three little children were dedicated to God by Rev. Vincent Scibelli. He was the one that stood beside us when God decided to take one of our children back to him. At that time, I did not speak English enough to be able to share with Rev. Scibelli the gratitude we truly felt for his loyalty. I never had a chance to share with Rev Scibelli what a special blessing he was for us and that he will be part of our memory forever. I felt afraid to share these feelings with him as if I could never express them into the right words. I thought that if left unspoken it would preserve my feelings without end. Time went by, but not even for one day, his image never left our minds and we never forgot the wonderful impact he had brought into our life. We moved from NY to GA and tried to build our “American life”. For some unknown reason, every time we accomplished something, I had an impulse of sharing with Rev. Scibelli. When my husband became a Christian I had the urge of finding Rev Scibelli and enlighten him that the seed he planted 19 years ago came to life, but I did not follow my instinct. When my husband and I graduated from college, I had the impulse of telling Rev. Scibelli, but I didn’t. When bought our first house the same desire flooded my mind, but I resisted. Our daughter was baptized and then our son and I failed again and again to follow my impulse to find Rev. Scibelli and share with him that his life influenced ours in such a great and positive way. As the time went by, I was afraid that he would not even remember us. Today, I finally got the courage and typed his name on Google to find his address to write to him. In stead of finding his address, I found this guest page bearing his name in bold letters. I feel like I failed my own father. I blame myself for not trying to look for him sooner. Rev Vincent Scibelli, you will always be on our mind like you had been for the last 19 years. I finally had the courage to write to you, now when you are gone. May God reward you with the eternal happiness you so richly deserve.

Sincere condolences to the family! You lost such a great man!

Dear Pat: How often we speak of Vinnie and selfishly how very much we miss him. We so looked forward to his phone calls before Christmas and again before Easter. They meant so much to us; thoughtful and caring. Bible study was a unique experience---we laughed, we learned, we prayed, we loved and we grew---with all with all our warts and bumps we shared and he led. It was a most meaningful time---a rare priviledge to be part of. Think of our after church socials---his enthusiasm was so infectious and the food plentiful and delicious---the fellowship so rewarding. We were all blessed beyond measure to have been a small part of the flock he shepherded. His messages, his approach, his warmth, his love, his humor---he was a man of God whether on the golf course, slicing bagels, preaching, dining, as father, grandfather, husband---always looking for the opportunity to speak of Jesus and urging us to do the same. Dear dear Pat we just want you to know how very much we loved Vinnie and how very much we love you. All the thoughts and memories kind of slide together into a huge warm place in our hearts. Love and blessing Milton and Barbara.

To Pat and Family, How blessed we were that God led us to the little Bible Church of Moriches. We will be forever gratefull for His hand in bringing our beloved Pastor Vinny into our lives. His love for our Lord was awesome as was his love for his family and church family. We missed him so during our winter months in Florida and looked so forward to getting back to Long Island and Pastor Vinny. We are certain he is smiling down on us in the presence of our Blessed Savior he so loved.

How thankful we are that God brought Pastor Vinny and Pat to share a few years together with us at our little church in Moriches. Our lives and hearts intertwined and we've been so blessed. May God give our dear Pat and her family His perfect peace.

What a privilege it was to have known Pastor Scibelli. I always looked forward to visiting the church to hear him speak when I was in the area. His enthusiasm and joy for life was contagious. It was wonderful to witness his love for the Lord and to see him bestow that love on others. I will miss him a lot. My prayers and thoughts are with you, Patty, and with the rest of your family. Love and blessings to you.

We were so blessed to have had Pastor Vinny as our pastor at The Bible Church in Moriches for almost 10 years. We'll never know the likes of him again. Always ready with a hug, a laugh, and (usually) a corny joke or prank, primarily, he was a gifted preacher. He simply overflowed with love for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He spoke a lot of the certainty of heaven and how he looked forward to the day when he would see his Savior face to face. We rejoice with him that that desire has now been fulfilled, but oh, how we miss him. I can't help but wonder if he's got the choirs of heaven singing the Christmas carols earlier than usual this year! For dear Pat and "the kids", our prayers for God's comfort are with you. Your loss is ours as well.

It is strange that tonight at 1:00 a.m. in the morning I should be up, unable to sleep. For some reason I searched Rev. Scibelli's name and heard of his passing.

About 25 years ago, I was baptized in Glendale Baptist Church by Pastor Scibelli. Later my father attended, and came to know the Lord in his 70s.

When my father died, Pastor Scibelli officiated the funeral service at the funeral home in Glendale.

I will never forget him. I am a Christian through his ministry.

Why at this time I searched for the name Vincent Scibelli after 20 years after leaving Glendale, I do not know.

Perhaps it was to know of his passing so I could pray for the family.....

My wife Angell and I moved to New York in 1992, and after a few weeks of prodding from my mother to find a church, we found our way to Glendale Baptist. We were immediately drawn in by people who would become dear friends to us. Chief among them was Pastor Scibelli, who would be a tremendous source of love, guidance, and encouragement for me as I struggled to find my place in the world.

When I returned for a visit, in 1998, he gave me some tough love when he learned that we weren't plugged into a church home, back in Kentucky. He extracted a promise from me to find a church and get involved, and we are now part of a wonderful church here in Louisville.

I owe so much to Pastor Scibelli and my friends from Glendale Baptist Church, who extended themselves to me and my family when we were strangers and made us feel like family.

My prayers go out to Pat and the family, and I hope that in this time of grief, you can all take comfort in your happy memories of the past and a great hope for the future, when you'll all be reunited.

DEAR DADDY, I miss you so much,you were not just my dad,you were my advisor,my teacher,my pastor and my friend,I was blessed to have you as my father.The love and commitment you shared with Mom was rare. I know you are with our Lord and Savior,and I know one day we will see you again. I was so lucky to have kissed and hugged you a few minutes before Jesus took you home.Billy,Frankie and myself never ended a conversation with you without saying I love you.You were my rock and the most person I respected in this world. Things will never be the same for us here without you,but when we are all reunited what a celebration that will be! as always when we said goodbye I Love You Daddy,till we meet again in heaven,Love Daddys little girl!!

Dear Pat & Family,

I would like to express my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear husband. In 1985, I had been going to a church in Manhattan, and it was quite far from Glendale. I looked in the yellow pages and found Glendale Baptist Church. The moment I stepped in the door, and Pastor Scibelli so warmly greeted me, I knew I was in my church home.

When my husband, Otto Davidson, passed away in 1997, he gave the eulogy at his wake, and I will never forget how his words of praise about him were so comforting to me. I pray you receive the same comfort that Pastor so freely gave me and my family. I'm sure he is in heaven talking to my husband and all of his family and friends.

You are in my prayers. May God bless you and your family.

Love in Christ,

Gertrude Davidson

It is so hard to put what I would like to say about Pastor Scibelli in a small paragraph. What can I say he has my heart always. He was a wonderful Pastor and a good friend to me and my family. We did not always agree on things but I always listened to him with reasoning. He was a good teacher and a lot of good thing came out from our ministry together. I will always be grateful to Pastor and to Pat for their love and Pastor will always be a part of my life, how can he not be he was so loved by many people. Pat my prayers are with you always and yes I do love you so much. I remember one of the songs Pastor loved was Just a Closer Walk With Three everytime I hear it I always remember how beautiful he played that. Well now he is playing his music in Glory the land that out shines the sun. See you some day soon Pastor.

Before writing this, I read through what others have said and it struck me on how it must be wonderful to be the type of person where no one has to exaggerate when describing you.

Pastor Scibelli, you truly lived the kind of life that others dream of and lived with such integrity and showed such immense love.

My best memory is how you would seek me out after church, during fellowship time, give me a big hug, and say, "You know that I love you, right?" And I would nod my head and bask in the feeling of your love. I look forward to a big hug in heaven and will miss you greatly until then.

My warmest and heartfelt sympathy goes to Pastor Scibelli's family and friends. May God comfort you in this time.

Dear Pat & family,
It is with fond memories we remember your husband our first spitual leader in the Lord, Pastor Vincent Scibelli.
We remember the love he showed me and Debbie as we were new in the Lord. Pastor baptized me, Debbie, Nicole, Brian, my mother Joan and put up with my dad Frank. His witness and patience eventually led to my dad coming to know the Lord down line. We looking forward to meeting him again in heaven.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To my dearest Pops-in-law: Although I didn't get enough time on this earth to get to know you better, the time we shared was enough for me to know you were something else. I will miss you busting my chops every time. I'm sure you had an extra special service in stored for Frank and me and our wedding won’t be the same now that you are gone but we know our special day will be filled with your presences. Thank you and Pat for my Masterpiece. Don't worry about Mom; Frank, the family and me will help take care of her. Geeez you left too soon and I didn't get to make you that special plate of mangu I know you would have loved (wink, wink).

Dearest Pat, it's been a bit over 14 yrs. since the Sadlo-Knauer family moved away. We talk about you and Pastor a lot. He will be greatly missed or never forgotten. He has given me many words of wisdom over the year and I always call upon those words when I need them. We will never forget him. I hope you're at peace because he is in a better place. My dad is probably chewing his ear off! Love, Kathy and Family (Mom is doing great - 81 yrs. of age)

My deepest sympathy, love and prayers to Patty and the family. He loved you all so much. It was such an awful shock to hear he was gone. He was the pastor of our church in Moriches and a wonderful, strong support to so many. He often talked about how fragile life is .... always told us to 'be ready', mark yourself as temporary,, 'and always remember.. the best is yet to come'. We'll miss him so much.
Love and prayers,

Vinnie, you may not have known how very much I loved you. From early childhood you were "my cousin Vinnie." I loved staying at your house on weekends, making an excuse that I was visiting Grandma and Grandpa when all along I wanted to be at your house. I felt as if your Mom and Dad were my "second set of parents" and that you were my oldest brother. When you and Pat married I finally had an older sister...and a fun one too. You were a loving, devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, nephew and cousin. I am so saddened by this tremendous loss in our family. I feel so far away and wish I could be there with your wonderful family at this time. By your passing, I have truly lost a piece of my heart.
Your loving cousin, Joanie
