Vince was an exemplary member of our church and our men's group. When challenged with questions about his faith, he decided to simply live out the beatitudes. Amazing.

I was glad to see Vinnie in June of 2022 for my 50th grad reunion. Vinnie was one of the good guys. The last image of Vinnie was him helping a homeless person at 16th and Wells on the MU campus. Vinnie got me passes for the Brewers home press box in 1971. Only the good die young.

I went to MU with Vince & Peggy and always thought about them when I passed near Plymouth, WI on my way to Door County, so many years ago.
Peggy, I offer you my deepest sympathy. Vince was " One of a Kind".

Sincerely,

John Keefe

I´m forever grateful to Vince for giving me a chance to write for him after I went out on my own in 1988. We became friends, bonding over our shared love of writing, editing and baseball. He was kind, enthusiastic and hard-working -- an inspirational person in so many ways. Deepest condolences to Peggy and all his loved ones.

I worked for Vince at Cashflow Magazine and at FPS for some 30 or so years. I will always be grateful for his tireless efforts at FPS to market the business and keep us afloat, allowing me to do the writing and editing work that I loved. But what I will remember Vince for the most has nothing to do with our work. What I will remember is his big heart and the passion he had for so many things, from his family to his beloved Philadelphia sports teams and our alma mater, Marquette University, to improving the lives of those less fortunate than himself. In my house, we thought of him as our Mr. Fezziwig. We loved him dearly and he will be sorely missed.

Vince was a man of many talents, but the best was his love for all people. A true warrior in mind and heart that I will remember always. In U and I!
