Anna, Jim and Paul,
Our family is deeply saddened by Vince's passing. Vince has always been a shining beacon in this world. He has taught us much with his kind, gentle, generous nature.
His quick laugh and smile will be missed by all who knew Vince. We are very lucky to have known him, and the world is now much sadder. But he is right now charming all the angels in heaven and asking God to take him to Cape Hatteras. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Vince,
Today you are in God's hands, as you always have been.
There will be no tears in heaven, for there you find peace from the woes of life. For there in heaven you will sleep with the angels, with the tranquility of innocence.
You will be missed here, earth is a better place for having you been here. Now heaven is blessed by you, where we will meet someday.
Love,
Cindee Hand

I am very happy to have known Vince, he gave and shared his love to all that knew him. He was nothing but goodness, so I know that he is with our Father talking his head off. He is talking about how wonderful his time with his Mom (Anna) and Dad (Jim) was, and what a great brother (Paul) and "sister" (Tamica) he also had, I know he will miss them because he loved them so much, he did such a great job for God that I know God will continue to Bless them. I will always remember you Vince, and remember what you have taught me. Thank you.

Please accept our sincerest sympathies. Vince will always hold a special place in our hearts. Those who have been lucky enough to spend time with Vince have been blessed by his presence. He always loved being surrounded by his friends and family and taught us all to enjoy life. I can't remember a time when he didn't have a smile on his face and a hug for everyone. We are all going to miss Vince but are thankful for the brief time we got to spend with him.
Love,
Barb & Mike

Jim, Anna, and Paul,
On behalf of the faculty and staff in the West Building, I offer our sincerest sympathy. Vince was certainly one of everybody's favorite at PA. I especially enjoyed having him in my class, which does not seem that long ago. May you find comfort in the memories of the great times that you shared together.
