Read MoreVince was our friend and neighbor at Residences of Riverwoods. He always greeted us with a smile and interesting small talk. He was on the condo board and left us with the feeling that he was truly representing our interests. We'll miss him.

Vince was a very special guy. He was one of those kind of guys who could start up a conversation with just about anybody. He'd come in off the road at ABF and I was a spotter/fueler in the yard and we would always shoot the breeze (BS). Had a blast talking to him. I got him some patches of the submarine he was on. We were both in the Navy. The world lost a true gem of a man. They don't make his type no more. I'll miss ya Vince!!!

Vince and my father worked together at ABF and became pretty close friends though the years. They would talk on the ph almost daily. Mostly about politics if you knew these 2 it would be quite interesting lol! I got the privilege of meeting him when he came for a visit. What a great man from the little I knew of him. He will definitely be missed by many and I know my father for sure. My deepest condolences goes out to your family!
