Vince was a wonderful man who always had a smile on his face. He loved his wife and girls very much. He no longer will have pain. You will be missed Vince .My prayers are with you all.

Gene, HOW HONORED I was to have Vince in my life, as MY!!! Friend! But, YOU, Lovely Lady, WERE HIS ANGEL. How I smiled when on the phone, I asked about you, and ALWAYS!!! his reply - SHE'S MY ANGEL. Now, Gene, God has acquired a TRUE ANGEL - like to picture him on the golden golf course "upstairs" in all his glory. I am blessed with many wonderful memories: his "bear" hugs when something went "crazy" at work; his retirement party (remember the limo ride), his great, grilled steaks and so many more thoughts, each putting a smile upon my face!

I'd like to thank personally your grand-daughter, Renee, for the help she gave Vince AND you.

God Bless YOU ALL!!!
Love, thoughts and prayers for you :)
