Not sure what to say?

You will always be remembered

Vince certainly was full of life, and ACCOMPLISHED many things. I will miss his sense of humor and friendship. Many times I have observed that with the success of his breast cancer research, he will have had a greater positive effect on more people's lives, than anyone else I know. What a legacy.

Thank you for leaving something special. My grandma passed a way from breast cancer. I have M.S. The stories I have read here has made me happy. Journey well Vincent... -Harold [email protected]

was deeply saddened to hear the loss of a great scientist and a true mentor. Professor Tuohy was in my PhD committee and always enlightened me with his precious contributions. He will always be remembered. I would like to offer my deepest condolences to his family.

I am so very sorry for Your Loss Of an Unique Loving Person That Will Forever Love On Godbless You All

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Tuohy.

I remember a number of years ago doing my usual Sunday night routine of watching 60 minutes and up popped Vince being interviewed about his breast cancer vaccine work and Scott Pelley saying to him - you have given so many women hope and Vince responded " what would life be without hope." RIP Vince.

Vince and I worked together on some projects related to MS many years ago. He was a great colleague and taught me a lot. I am happy to have known Vince, and send my sympathies to the family. Sincerely, Anne Cross

I am so very sorry to hear about Dr. Touhy's passing. I had read some of his earlier work and heard about the breast cancer vaccine trial he was conducting at CCF. I was fortunate to be a subject in the Phase IA vaccine trial and will be forever grateful to Dr. Touhy. His tireless work provides those of us with TNBC hope. Even with his passing, he is doing good for others. Thank you, Dr. Touhy. Your work will allow so many others to live.
