We are so sorry to hear of your dad's and grandfather's passing. We have lived in the neighborhood since 1984 and he was like a staple of the neighborhood. He will be missed sitting on the porch in the nice weather to offer a hello to all who walked by. I know he will be greatly missed by your family.

Eddy and Family,
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Vince was a dear friend of John's and we know they are now together again sharing memories. John always enjoyed having a couple of beers with Vince and rehashing old times. May you and your family find comfort in knowing the Lord has shown upon him and he is now comforted by his loving arms.

God has given us a life span of 70-80 years if we are especially strong. May you celebrate a life well lived and loved by many. May the words of Psalm 90:14 comfort you and soothe your pain.

Paul, Dan and family members - My heart goes out to you all at this sad time. My heart too is broken with Vince's passing. I have no words that can best describe how great of a man I think your dad was. I was blessed to work with Vince here at the NYSP for over twenty years. I do know Vince was a man of FAITH, he loved his Family, his COUNTRY, and just as important to Vince was his love of LIFE. His positive good natured sprit is something I will never forget. I also know your dad was a man of principle and he would want us all to celebrate his life with all the hearts he touched during his time here. Stay strong like Vince was, stand together and carry his spirit and love in your heart forever. I know I will.
With love and my personal best wishes to you all. Emery
