Karen, my thoughts and prayers reach to you and your family. I don't know if you remember me, I was a close friend of Vince's when you guys met in the late 80's in Sunnyvale. I worked with Vince at Amdahl. He was a great guy.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Vince... I knew him from the Amdahl days and was a guest at his wedding. My sympathies to Karen and the family; I know Vince will be missed.

I knew Vince when he first started his career at PMSC. I think we actually worked together first when I was re-located for a year to Hartford - Vince and Julius Caesar started with the company at the same time. So many laughs did those two give me! Just a wonderful, wonderful guy. I know your loss is great, but your super memories are greater. I'm sorry he had to be taken so young. A loss for all, but I just wanted you to know that he made an impression on people many years ago that you don't even know about, so his legacy extends farther than you ever dreamed.
