To Vince's Family: I am so sorry to learn of Vince's death. As his older cousin, our paths diverged but our family was so proud of him and always kept up with his achievements. He was very precious and I know he will be missed. May your memories comfort you at this sad time and may you be at peace.

The family has my sincere sympathy. Vince was my former father in law and was a good man. Even after my divorce he still treated me like part of the family. He will be greatly missed.
