If we all could be one nth of Vinny there would truly be a paradise in the hearts of all people. What a mighty and kind man!!!

I met Dr. Roux on the golf course as a member of the Pro Duffers golf club. The story gets better. As a teeenager my brother and I used to go to New Orleans in the summer and we would frequent a night club called the Cafe Roux. Fast forward 45 years and I meet the guy whose parents owned that night club!! He became my Doctor and literally saved my life! He insisted he become my doctor and take a complete physical where he found Prostrate cancer. I had an operation and am alive today because...

On Behalf of the Association of Howard University Retirees (AHUR), we send our deepest sympathy to the family. May the memories that you share of your Beloved, Dr. Roux, bring you peace and comfort at this time. Our Best to You!

Although Dr. Roux has left his worldly life, to those of us who knew him while here on earth, his memories will last forever, because he was such a caring and "down-to-earth" individual who could spend time with anyone with whom he came in contact. He always made others feel important. My fond memory of him is when he coached the Howard U.

Sending much love and sympathy to Lois and her beautiful family. Vincent was my dear friend who possessed a special spirit of friendship. I cherish the memory of the time some old friends and family enjoyed with him last summer. As with days in New Orleans, and throughout his years in the DC area, his wit and his genuine welcoming ways were still present. He will be remembered with much affection. May God grant his soul eternal rest.

Lois, this is so sad.i am who i am because him. My thoughts are with you. Sincerely lance weaver md

My sincerest condolences to the family of Dr. Roux. He was extremely helpful to me on a personal level in ways I can never repay

Your friend Joe

Lois, our sincere condolences to you and your family. We all met at Xavier but perhaps Vincent and I discovered each other sometimes later. We enjoyed several days of golf sometimes in the 80s and perhaps got to know each other much more intensely . He was a wonderful, kind, considerate and caring person whom I shall miss and remember always. Barbara and I will pray for God's acceptance of Vincent and healing and comfort for you and the family.
