Dear Gloria, Pam and Julie, Vinny was one of a kind. For me and Joe, he was a brother, good friend and buddy. Only happy memories come to mind over many years with Gloria and Vinny. You two were there in good times and bad, always supportive. By now Joe and Vinny are happy to be together again. Thank you God! My love to you all. Carrie
