Not sure what to say?

Hi! You don´t know me but I am the daughter of Don and Kaye Flynn. My mom and I are out eating lunch and she was talking about your family so I looked up your name...we are sorry to learn of Vince´s death.

It was a pleasure knowing you and working with you.... your smile and friendly handshake would brother any room... we had a good ride... Rest easy Sailor we got the watch....fair winds and following seas my friend
