We were one of the merchants in Evergreen Plaza, Alberto's, and Vince was always so good to us. He was always so kind and helpful thru so many years. Even when he moved on to Navy Pier, he continued to be so kind. Such a wonderful, honorable man. We are so sad to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers to all his family.

I was a reporter for Channel 5 when Vince was on Mayor Richard j. Daley's security detail. My job was to get Mayor Daley to talk to my camera. Vince's job was to keep me and my crew at a safe distance. We got along very well. He was a real gentleman and professional. I ran into him downtown a few years back and we had some fun remembering those old days. My condolences to his family. I will pray for his soul. Peter Nolan

Vince was a student in my eight grade class at St. Kilian's in 1956-57. In the last ten years I have seen Vince a few times really and enjoyed seeing him and visiting him. Vince was a very special person and I loved being with him. Vince was wonderful to the core. Eileen you have my prayers and sympathy. I regret not having the opportunity to spend more time with him but I give thanks for renewing a few hours with him. Great person, very Irish. He and his family are held in my heart and in my prayers. Love, sister John norton

Vince was always so good to me and to my children. He would always praise Eileen to the moon and back and was so proud of his children. So many of the old Plaza gang is gone...but not forgotten. My thoughts and sympathy go out to all the Gavins.
