Vincent,
You will be truly missed. I was just a little girl living in the terrace when I met you. You and your brother took us on our first trip to Riverside which is now Six Flags. As time past I would always run into you, you always remained the same very respectful and always greeted me with a smile. I pray God gives Valerie and Kay Kay and the rest of your family the strength they may need at this time and the time to follow.
Vincent May your soul rest in peace. On behalf of the late Gerri's entire family our sympathy to you all.
