Hi Grandpa, it’s me Jazzy. I just want to let you know I’m doing okay. I had a baby girl now, her name is Jasalina. I wish you were here to meet her. When she gets bigger I’m going to tell her all the great stories about you and tell her how much of a good grandpa you and a good man you were. Not just to me, but to the world! I know she would have loved you. I think about you everyday and every time I see and old school car and listen to oldies I think of you. Makes me just want to drink a beer and reminisce on all of the memories we shared. I miss you so much you were the best grandpa ever! I love you and I’m proud to carry your last name as you first grandchild. I miss you so much grandpa. I love you. I hope my Angel Baby D is enjoying all his time up there in Heaven with you just as much as I did when I was his age. I love you both with all my heart! Rest In Peace Grandpa, My Only Son Baby D, My uncle Dee, uncle Randy and all of our Loved ones up there! Love, Jazzy.

Not a day goes by where I don't stop thinking about you... I lost you when I was about 13 years old and i'm now 23 still shedding tears you've really been gone this whole time.. You were definitely one of the greatest people I've met throughout my life and to make it that much better you were my DAD. I always remember growing up and you'd always tell me "you're lucky you got to grow up with a Dad" and now that i'm older I realized you were preparing me for life and not to take your loved ones for granted... As your son I miss you and love you so much pops & everything I do is for YOU! but we'll cross paths soon again and I know you're watching me & the family from above, RIP POPS

It is most disheartening to be the older brother losing a younger brother.Your innate ability to always make me laugh is sorely missed.

Vincent was a good man who cared about every one he knew especially the kids. I appreciate all the good advice he gave to me and my daughter when we had are disputes. I know god looks at all the good in everyone. His mother did a good job raising her son.
