I remember the first time I met Vince. He and Dee made my family feel so welcome and comfortable right away. He was one of the most loving, gentle, caring, responsible, KIND men I have ever met. There will never be another man quite like him, and I'll miss that smile and those twinkly eyes, but his memory is in my heart forever.

Vincent was a person of remarkable decency and warmth. He surely is resting in God's loving arms today. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loving family. Terry & David

I worked with Vince for 20 years at Ladder 1. Though we were on different platoons, we saw each other frequently and ofter worked for each other when the need arose. Vince was not only a co-worker, but a loyal friend and he will be missed by so many. Rest in peace LadderMan.
My sincerest sympathy to the Coccia family and friends.
