I grew up with Vince on Brownlee Ave. He was the heart throb of every girl in the neighborhood. Brownlee was a dead end street so we played many games of soft ball, etc. in the street. Vince and his brother Bill were almost always out there leading the games and keeping everybody in line. After we moved I would often see Vince when I was driving down Dueber Ave. at lunch time (I worked at Timken and he worked at a soft drink place along there and was often loading his truck). After that I saw him at one of the Fairmont reunions - tall and lanky he hardly ever seemed to change. He was without a doubt the friendliest person I ever knew. Linda and Bill you had a wonderful brother. My uncle Jerry was a friend of your brother Jim, but I hardly ever knew him very well. My deepest condolences to the entire family. The world is definitely not the same without Vince. I treasure the memories of Brownlee Ave. We had our own Dead End Gang, and lots of fun growing up.

We so thoroughly enjoyed the brief moments we were able to spend with Vince Sr. and his son, Vince while in Maryland. He was quick to laugh and share a wonderful sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Littles and extended family and friends. Hugs! May you enjoy sharing memories this weekend when the family is together.

I worked with Vince when I was with SWANA and my wife and I will always remember having lunch with Vince in Monterey CA at a conference and laughing the afternoon away listening to his stories. Vince would always put a smile on your face no matter your mood. I will miss my friend. He made me a better man

I am so saddened that my long-time friend is gone. We became friends during my Bartending days at The Inn On The River and remained so all these years. Vince always made the effort to find me and he will be missed by many. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
