Not sure what to say?

Remember him and the tune vividly from my youth! My dad had made up some lyrics for part of that tune: "Give me some money to buy ice cream today from Mr. Softee." RIP, sir and thank you for the memories - and ice cream!

My deepest thoughts and sympathies go out to the entire Comtois family. Vincent was a wonderful loving man, father and person. I will always remember him greeting me with smile when I was a boy. My favorite thing I bought from ''Mister Softee'' was the Parfait with strawberry sauce!
Another Angel has ascended to Heaven!

Godspeed mr Comtois

I am so sorry for your loss he was a wonderful man who made my childhood and I know so many others a happy one. God bless him

Mr. Comtois, Mister Softee, is a very happy, bright memory from my childhood. He used to come to our neighborhood on Ludlam Street every summer. This photo of him in his truck is exactly as I remember him, smiling and happy to take my order.

Prayers to the Family , Always waited to hear and see Mr . Softee .
