Vinnie and I work together at Wyman Gordon. He was an outstanding person at work and in life. He was the salt of the earth, working hard everyday, raising 5 children and always with a can-do spirit. Vinnie was short in physical statue but a giant in respect with anyone who work with or for him. My thoughts are with all of his family and right now I am sure he is walking his laps around heaven.

I'll always remember your dad at all of Joe's games - you were all lucky to have such a wonderful dad and grandfather. Please call me so we can get together or if there is ANYTHING myself or Gary can do to help you out in any way. As you know Nicholas is in China and I did let him know and Sean is in Ireland on business (nursing) and I will let him know when he returns. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Vinnie joined the Navy the same time I did with his brother,Frannie. We were in Boots together at Quanset Point.We had a hard time telling them apart. Later in life, I met the older brother, Fr. Richard Carelli, at St Roch's Parish. After I was ordained a Deacon, Fr.Carelli became my spiritual advisor, and our very close friend,Dot and I. The world is a sadder place that they are gone. Know that our prayers are with all the Carelli family.....Deacon & Mrs Stan M. Giza
