It's been a long time since I worked with Vince. I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news. My thoughts and prayers are with the Cellini family and the InstallNet team during this difficult time.

I open this guest book very frequently to read the postings. I have attempted to write in this book about a dozen times. Here it is a year later and I am still struggling with the words. Vince was and still is a very, very dear friend. I will always remember that friendship and be thankful for it. It has made me a better person and I will continue to grow from it. Vince, I know that you are in a better place now but this place would be a whole lot better if you were still here. You will be with us forever.

I worked with Vince in the late 80's at ESI. He had a super personality and made everyone smile, which he was always doing. Sorry it took me so long to find out of all places on your web page. Much sympathy to Vince's family and his family at Installnet!

We remember Vince as the man who made Colleen’s eyes light up when he came into the room. We remember him as a loving and attentive father to Joey. We remember him at family gatherings at Christmas, and in the summertime, as a quiet, warm and smiling man who fit in so comfortably. He was always completely present and focused on the person he was talking to – he made each of us feel cherished. We cherished him in return. His life-long example of integrity, humility, and devotion to family and friends will live in our hearts forever.

At the wake for Vincent, my niece Carolyn read a haiku that spoke simply and beautifully of Vincent.
Haiku for Vinnie
Vinnie ball in hand
Across the field he smiles
Throws it long -- touchdown
Thank you, Carolyn
I think Vinnie's smile was his touchdown for all those he met. His gentle spirit and true humility will live on in our memories.

Systems Group had the pleasure of working with Vince for over 9 years. He was one of our first customers! We always spoke to Vince on the phone and developed a warm based relationship from there. He always made a point to ask about our family. He was kind and caring and you could feel it.His knowledge and expertise made him easy, and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely miss the uniqueness and quality he added to Installnet. Our deepest sympathy to the Cellini and Installnet families.

"Vinny-Vinchenzo" we always called him, never knowing if he minded us calling him this--we never asked. Vincenzo was the greatest brother/brother-in-law one could ever imagine.. ~A heart of gold~ If anyone would like to hear a heartfelt remembrance of Vin, I recommend " 'Til Kingdom Come" by Coldplay.
Vince loved my sister as pure as it gets, we saw this everytime we got together from day 1. To me, one of Vince's most beautiful qualities is that he never had anything to prove. He was comfortable being the way he was. ~Esse quam videro~ a latin motto which means "to be rather than to seem". We could all learn from Vincenzo's state of grace..a man who was the best and didn't know it.
To quote from my brother, one of the (two) eulogies spoken at Vince's funeral mass: "Joey, most sons think of their dads as heroes and you certainly had a hero with your dad. The only difference is so many more people shared these same sentiments about your father. He was a hero in every sense of the word. He always did the right thing, never shied away from making the correct decisions in matters of family, honor, and faith. He always helped others and always saw the good in people. He is what we all aspire to be and you should take comfort and strength from that. The great thing about heroes Joey is that they are with you forever and will inspire you just as long. That's the gift that your father has left for all of us."
God bless Vincenzo.

We at Office Furniture Installations send our deepest sympathy to Vince's immediate family and to his Install Net family. I had a chance to meet Vince on one of his Chicago installations and I can truly say that you would never meet a nicer man. It was a pleasure to work with him over these past few years and he will be missed by all of us but never forgotten as he will be always remembered in our hearts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Cellini family and Co-workers. We were very sadden to receive news of his passing. I had work with Vince several years by phone only and had the pleasure to finally meet him this past Feburary at the 2005 Vegas Conference. Vince was such a nice man in person as he was on the telephone. We will truly miss him. Vince & his family will always be in our prayers.

I am truly blessed to have known Vince Cellini. You could not find a kinder, more thoughtful guy. (Vinnie, I will miss you!)
We don't meet many great people in a lifetime, but we are priviledged to have met Vince. Our thoughts and prayers are with Colleen, Joey and all of Vince's family at Installnet.

I have known Vince since first grade and grew up into adulthood with him. I remember him as a gentle giant type who was always pleasant and friendly. An extremely likeable guy. You would catagorize him and his family as "good people". There is some truth to the phrase that only the good die young. This is one of those truths. My heart and prayers go out to his wife and son, his mother, and his sisters. All his goodness makes the pain so much greater for them and all of us. He was a good friend and I am proud to have known him. I will remember him always, and keep him and his family in my prayers.

I was very saddened when I received the news about his passing. As with any organization that is as small and personal as most of ours are, his absence will be deeply felt and he will be missed. I have enjoyed working with him over the years as have our employees. I wish to convey our deepest sympathies to his family and to the people that he worked with so closely.

I would like to start off by saying what everyone who has ever met or spoke with Vince knows. He was one of the most warm and easy going guys that you would ever have the good fortune to come across in your life time. In the early years of Install Net,we worked with Vince on quite a few jobs......Not every job went smoothly as we all know happens ....But Vince always did what ever he could to change that. I can guarantee that in the end the client was more than happy with him and Install Net. He was just that kind of a person ....He always went above and beyond...When I finaly had the pleasure of meeting him in person. In Vegas.I just knew he was a great man.
This is going to be one of the biggest losses for his friens,family and this industry.We will forever know that all of our lives were enriched and better just for have known such a person ....Best wishes and sympathy to all.

I worked with Vince for over 3 years. One of the first jobs we did for InstallNET was Vince's job. What a great way to be introduced to the company! Vince was very helpful and kind while we worked out the kinks in a confusing situation. He never lost his patience and always faced every stumbling block with a great attitude and sense of humor. I had the opportunity to finally meet him at the 2005 conference in Las Vegas. He was just as kind in person as he had been over the phone for 3 years. He will be missed by all of us at QSI. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I have only had the pleasure of working with Vince for a few months. Vince was always ready to help a new Project manager.
I enjoyed talking with Vince about his camping trips, and outings with his family. He was so proud of his family and loved them dearly. May the wonderful memories he created with his family and friends be a comfort to each of them, and a guideline for creating memories with our love ones.
His warm smile with his good morning greeting will be missed daily.
May God bless his family and keep his family in God's hand.

After having worked with Vince on several projects, it didn't take long to figure out what kind of a man he was. He had a great sense of humor, and he was a great Project Manager. I have worked with a lot of Project Managers all over the United States, and he ranks up at the top in my book. My prayers go out to his family, and his family at InstallNET.

I worked with Vince for 2 1/2 years at InstallNet and have many fond memories. We worked close with only a panel separating us. I heard him all day and he heard me. Vince was great project manager. In fact, I gave him the title of "King Project Manager" and made him a crown which still sits at his desk. No one will ever be able to fill his shoes. He knew all the answers and was always willing to help other project managers out. The only thing I know that Vince did not do well was spell. That was okay I enjoyed spelling those hard words or names. We all respected that Vince was a great husband and dad. Always said kind things about his family. Another memory was celebrating our birthdays together at work. He would not eat the cake because he was on the Atkins diet and would remind me that I was older then him (by exactly one week to the year). I will truly miss Vince. My prayers are for the family.

Vince will be greatly missed by all. He certainly was an asset to Installnet and represented the company professionally and compassionately. Vince was dedicated to his work and most of all to his family; that was very apparent; and we admire him for this characteristic. Definitely "one of the best guys you'll ever meet." Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
