What a wonderful man! I drove school bus for Vinal as a high school student, ( could not do that today) and later when I was in college. I learned a great deal from this man. He was always appreciative of nature, I share that with him. May you rest in peace, thank you for the learning experiences as a teenager.

Vinal, I remember him so fondly as I drove school bus for him when I was in high school and later in college. I suspect one could not do that today. He was a kind man and one that appreciated the wonderful outdoors. Thank you for believing in me as an employee and most importantly as a fellow Masardis resident. God bless you!

Truly was an awesome man and busdriver. He sure had a lot to put up with, with the Oxbow and Masardis bunch.
But he was always great and fair. My heart goes out to the family . He surely will be missed.

My deepest regrets for loss of Vinal. we 1st met about 75 years ago when he was still in diapers ,when the family were at Mckeen Crossing at the forestry camp and my Dad was on Round Mt. They were our closest neighbors 4 miles down the trail from us. Roughly 40 years later hiked into Round Mt.with 15 Boy Scouts from New Hamp. and Vinal was doing tower duty. We joked as he said he had not moved around much, just 4 miles up the trail! May his trail be easy, his pack light and good fishing.
