Vince Tringali

I was recruited by coach Tringali when he made the move to USF. I was very interested in playing for him because I knew everything about his winning ways at SI. But my goal was to move away from the city by the bay so I took a scholarship down in southern California. He was a true class act the only person I can compare him to is Alex Schwartz my offensive line coach at city college. RIP coach Tringali

Now Vince joins me in SF Prep Hall of Fame, inducted in 2023. My history teacher, allowed me as Sports Editor to show his offense in print, and once told me about being my coaching at Lowell that would never be duplicated. That was Vince. Glad to be at the ceremony at Basque. RIP.--John Donohue,SI 1969

I never missed a football game in my 4 years at SI. Ever since the first school rally held in the old gym, I was completely hooked. The team was fabulous, coach Tringali was an absolutely riveting focused field general. There were never better football games than those from from 63-67. I had Vince for Public Speaking & English what a guy! He was and is a legend and a real life hero. God Bless, Vince, thanks for everything.

You was the gratest grandpa i ever had and i wished i got to spend more time with you and tho one thing you told me was what is the one thing that someone cant tack from you is what you learn. I love you your grandson Jimmy Redden

Vince my friend of 35+ years you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Thanks for all the good times and fond memories. Your life was truly one of great accomplishments and tremedous giving.

To the entire family I send my deepest condolences and prayers. Vince was my football coach at St. Ignatius high school. He taught me discipline, clean play and fortitude. He helped me to earn a scholarship to Oregon State University. I was able to see and talk to him many times during my years aound the Bay Area. He was always friendly to me, concerned about my well-being, and gentlemanly. I ask God to bless and keep him at peace, and I pray that God will give peace to the entire family. (EJ...

Vince, you were more than a customer but a great friend. I'll always remember the dinners at the Old Warsaw in Dallas. Great food, great wine, great company & because of you great service.
You were a great coach & teacher in all aspects of life. Whether it be football, sales or in later life golf.
My deepest sympathies to Jean & family.

To Jean and Family,
We send our condolences to you in this time of sadness and loss. Although we did not know Vince personally, the Martins were fortunate to know Jean as she helped to deliver all nine Martin children, including the "Martin Triplets" at Mount Zion Hospital. May you be comforted in knowing that Vince is now at peace in Heaven. Please accept our deepest sympathies,
