The memory of a smile, a joke and a stern handshake will always be remembered. Let us not forget the love for Glen Allen Sports, both football and baseball and all of the children that he has touched. Vince, rest in peace in God's hand.

Michelle, Brittany and Brandon,
When I heard the words, "Vince never met a stranger," my thoughts turned to the night Gary and Vince smoked cigars and had a drink together - Gary remembers that fondly and always spoke highly of Vince - and felt like he had known him all his life! You have our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy and compassion. You are not alone - he is your Guardian Angel now and forever. Love, Mary, Gary, Jacob and Courtney Cothran

My Brother - Vince I don't have the words. How do you say Thank You for MY LIFE...we lived our life together, growing up together doesn't say enough...You taught me to not be intimidated, don't be nervous, don't be afraid to excel "Do what you have to then do what you want to" remember that. It took me through war, life, and too many things to list. That and Mom's "They knock you down; get up" both simple but powerful...I LOVE YOU BROTHER!!!

Michelle and Family,

I will always have this great memory of Vince asking my now almost five year old how old she was and at two years old she shouted "two" holding up her thumb and index finger instead of the usual fingers. Every year after that, Vince reminded us of this.
May God bless you and keep you.
