To Vince's family my deepest sympathies. I am a fellow lung transplant receipient and received my lungs around the same time Vince got his. We spent some time in the hospital afterwards and I did visit with he and Kat a little bit. Lovely kids. Vince seemed to be a very happy guy and he will be missed a lot. I am sorry.
