Vinny at well involved PD fire in New Orleans
Chris,
I had the pleasure of working closely with Vinny in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. The pleasure was all mine. Being a FF's wife for 38 years, I'm sure you know the friendly competition that goes on between the companies. Well ours (L-56) with Ladder 38 is no different.

Dear Chris and Girls,
Sorry I could not attend the services for my dear friend Vinnie. We were close through many years of National Guard service as well as on and off duty. A visit to his firehouise in the Bronx gave me a better insight to his world and the life you had with him. Being the son of a NYC fireman myself, I understand the life with all its ups and downs. I share your grief and will miss him terribly.
