My condolences to his family and friends who were close to my cousin Vince. I only knew him in childhood, but even then it was apparent that Vince was a kind soul who was raised well, along with his fine brothers, to be kind and respectful to girls. I am grateful for his service to this country and the love he showed his family.

Theresa, even though I didn't know Vince too much, he's been in my thoughts and prayers these past weeks. I am glad I got to know him a little during our bike rallies and glad Dan and I were able to say goodbye to him few days before his passing. His "Richard Gere" look will be missed but won't be forgotten. My prayers are with you and your family.
