We had the honor and pleasure of serving as Vince's dentist for 25 years. I'm proud to say he was not only a patient, but a friend. Our entire office offers our condolences and prayers to the Haley family.

My condolences to the Haleys, from one "big" family to another. Vince was head of a house I visited often growing up and his values were certainly instilled in my friends Chris and Megan...will always remember watching his beloved Villanova basketball team in their 1985 run to a title...and hours spent on Mr Haley's driveway trying to emulate that team. God Bless a great man from a great neighborhood.
