Pa Vin was one of the greatest men I've ever had the privelage in knowing. I was very fortunate to have had many great conversations with him whether at Gentian Ave. or Bonnet Shores. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. His love for History and teaching has been handed down to Vincent and through him Pa Vins legacy will live on. My Thoughts and Prayers are with the entire McGinn Family during this difficult time.
