Vinnie and the rest of NSA sang at my 40th birthday party in the living room of my home in Brookline, MA. And then again on our private island in Rindge, NH for my 50th! I cannot say enough about the camaraderie and generosity of Vinnie and the guys. Great men who had a difficult time in poor economies. Thank you Vinnie for the pleasure you gave us.

We´ll miss Vinnie immensely. Always loved watching him perform because you could see how much he loved what he was doing. He was the `funnest´ of the group. He will be sorely missed. RIP, my friend. Very sad day.

There are no words to express the grief we all have right now. I am proud to have known him and even prouder to say he was a dear friend. As one of the many loyal fans of NSA, I can say it was a blessing to hear him perform over the last 40 something years at so many venues and parties. I am sure his friends and family members are with him in heaven where he and Paul and Bobby C will be singing. I also know that he will always be our guardian angel. I want to thank his immediate family for sharing him with his fans for so many years. He brought so much joy to this world. He will live forever through his recordings, but even more so in our hearts and minds because he created so many precious memories.
