Vincent was one of the most easy going person that I ever knew. He was fun to hang around with and I enjoyed the days we shared along with friends at the farm. Never have I seen two brothers work together like Vincent and Sammy. Vincent you will be greatly missed and we will see each other again in Gods land.

This very special Man will be greatly missed by many. I hope for comfort and peace for all who grieve the loss of this wonderful man. Mr. Ditta was such a joy to visit with. Some of my favorite memories of Vince was talking about his grandchildren, he face ALWAYS lit up when we talked family. And in turn he would always ask about my kids and family. He especially enjoyed the stories about the show hogs that he helped my son with and was proud that he could be a part of the agriculture experience and help a kid along. I will miss his company and his genuine caring attitude for others.
