ALONES- Vincent William, 95, died at his home in Lynchburg. Virginia of congestive heart failure Feb. 1, 2012, on the 64th anniversary of his marriage to Agnes Rose Jeckewicz, also deceased.

Vince was born August 23, 1916 to Peter and Elizabeth Alones, immigrants from Lithuania, in Long Island City, Brooklyn NY. He graduated from Sewanaka High School in Floral Park NY in 1934.

In 2008, Vince left Floral Park and moved to Lynchburg to be with his wife, Agnes. He joined the local Disabled Veerans and American Legion chapters and made good friends at the Support the Troops Rally. We would like to thank all our friends who have supported us during these last few years as well as Centra PACE, Centra Hospice and all the other health providers who provided excellent care to both Agnes and Vincent.

I still remember my visits in 1980s to Vincent's house in Floral Park, his stories about his military and firemen service. And especially we were connected by common hobby - collecting of medals. He was nice son of the Lithuanian Nation and I was very proud on him.

Dear Alones Family;
Vincent will be missed by all. He had a full life and inspred all with his stories of the war and Elise Island. The family gatherings in Floral Park and trips to Ct. were great to see everyone. The party's at the VFW in Floral Park. Thoughts are the memories and good times. Remember him always.

I will miss Vincent and his huggs and smooches down at Monument Terrace. he was such a joy and a true patriot to the very end. His family was there for him and cared for him the way a parent should be. God Bless Vincent!!!

To the family of Mr. Alones. My name is Monica Bozik and I am employed at Drs. Newman, Blackstock and Associates/Optometrists. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Alones recently and just saw him on the 27th when he picked up his long-awaited eyeglasses. Few patients have the impact that he did on me. Maybe it had to do with his spryness and New York accent (I am a former New Yorker); maybe it had to do with his faithfully worn hat proudly displaying his service to our country during WWII and my gratitude for his service and my own grandfather's in Korea....nevertheless, he will be remembered fondly by me and all of the staff here. I lift you up in prayer today and rejoice as he has found eternal life with the Lord.

Fondly,

Monica Bozik

To all the family: I loved giving Vincent a hug when he came by my booth at the Lynchburg Community Market. He was a joy and an inspiration to all who met him. May God rest his soul and Bless each of you who will surely feel a void as I do. With much love, Dee Tinsley
