Vincent Dima Obituary

NEWPORT NEWS - Vinny passed away on March 19,2014. There are no words to express the sorrow for all of us that loved him. Vinny was an avid cook to say the least. It could be 4pm or 4am he would be in the kitchen cooking a full course meal and it would be incredible every time. He would spend hours cooking for anyone that came to his house never expecting anything in return, he had a heart of gold. Vinny also had a passion for golf, if he wasn't playing he was talking about playing. Vinny followed the family business of pest control and served all the peninsula and surrounding areas. He always worked with people to make it affordable and believed if he was going to do a job he was going to do it right the first time. He also loved to make people laugh. It didn't matter what was going on he would crack a joke or make a silly face and have you laughing right along with him in no time. Vinny was an exceptional friend, father and paw-paw, he will never be forgotten. Always in our hearts, love Dani and Alahna Markfort.

Missing you like crazy dad. Sometimes it's still so hard to believe you are gone. When I'm in the kitchen cooking all I hear is you saying - If you think It's enough add a little more. There is not a day that goes by I don't think of you and miss you terribly. When I see my Daughter growing I feel there is something missing and that's you not being her to watch her grow with me. She's a dare devil like I was and I know you would get a kick out of her. I know you're watching over us but there is nothing like our good ol' face to face conversation. I miss that more than anything. If only heaven had visiting hours. Always missed but never forgotten...rest in paradise Dad I hope it's more than you ever imagined. Until I see you again xoxo

Dear Dani, I was shocked when I read that that your Dad, Vinny had passed away. What a lovely write up on Vinny, it was a wonderful tribute to him. He was an exceptional person and I valued his work ethics, but he always went the extra mile and treated all he worked for just wonderful. I saw him last in the fall and he stated he was doing better. He always spoke so highly of you, Dani and loved the children. He was a special person and will definitely be missed by all.

Vinny,
You stepped up to fill the spot when my dad passed away, and I'll never forget that. You helped me complete the journey to becoming a family man, and more importantly, a father. I could never truly put into words how much you mean to me, just as I will never be able to fill the hole created in my heart, and the many lives you're a part of. My mother was a great judge of character, and even to her, you were a diamond among stones. You are a beautiful, wonderful soul, and I will forever miss you. You are a friend, a brother, a father. I love you Vinny, and I will never let your light fade on this earth! Until we meet again...

This announchment brings much sadness to my heart. Vinny was one of my best friends growing up, he was a remarkable guy! Just thinking of him still brings a smile to my face as I recall all the wonderful fun we had growing up! I moved away from VA over 40 years ago, but have often thought about Vinny and the Dima family. From the comments I've read here it sounds like Vinny had a wonderful life and took care of all those that he came into contact with. He will certainly be missed by us all! If someone can pass my number along to his brother or sister I'd love to talk with them, (916)869-1969. Sincerly, Steve Mc
