Vincent CHETCUTI

I'm sure there are right words to be found,I'm less sure about seeking them. I loved him, we loved words,music,dancing, basketball, the edge.. his loss is not romantic , it's a sadness . I love him still,

Miss you Vinnie. My deepest condolences to Erin and Winnie and the others who experienced his gentle and comfortable company.

Vince, thank you for your bright smile, friendly words, and cheery demeanor. I will miss you sitting in the courtyard in the sunshine.

My sincerest condolences to your family and friends. May they find comfort in your memory and may they all be spared from future sorrow.

Condolences to the family on the loss of a fine human being. I had the pleasure of working with Vince in recent years. He was an excellent writer with a brilliant mind. I will always remember his wit, humour and eagerness to share stories as well as introducing me to new music. I will miss him.

Vince was a rock and roller with a gentler quieter side, who passed on his dry wit, with his love for music, but remained loyal to rock and roll. A true child of the boom generation, though the tail end, which was left the scraps, and the reality of this generation was that idealism was knocked out of them by the failures of the boomers before them which left the void of the following generation. The difficulty for all was how to live with courage and dignity in the void. Truth is, that it required a transformation that some found easier than others, a less romantic side, were reality reined supreme, and an acceptance of a roller as the forerunner of the next generation, ever to be young again. Musically the transition is easy; ideologically the transition is somewhat less than smooth. Vince you go before us to smooth the way and we cherish you for that, helping us to be guided as you always did by the music in transition.


My condolences to all and my extreme apologies for non-attendance but my son of the the generation above spoken will be there representing us both and of course my lovely and true sister.

Dear Erin & Winnie, Our deepest condolences. So many wonderful memories of Vince from those early days - his delight in Erin & Brennan's relationship, his kindness to Brennan, his wry smile, his dry humour, those frequent impromptu dinners. Basmati rice, broccoli, carrots & almonds always make me think of him! A kind, caring, gentle man. Peace on his soul. Lots of Love

Love you my beautiful cousin! I smile when I think of you + I fondly remember all the fun + crazy times we had growing up together in Hamilton + at Cathedral High School....those were the days! You will be missed.

Peace Vinny you will always be remembered so many memories.

I worked with Vince only briefly, and would run into him by chance now and then. Each exchange left a lasting impression of him as a kind, gentle soul. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sorry for your loss.

Manny, Winnie:

You will be missed greatly my friend. Your words were always so clever, so kind. 7 years we knew each other, I only wish we had more time. You are at peace now and that brings comfort. Rest well my friend.

You enlivened the time we spent with our daughters Erin & Hope. When I was lonely for my children (with Larry overseas) you Winnie and Erin shared your Christmas with me. Thank you for being a true friend.

I knew Vince as a kind and gentle man and partner to Winnie when Manfred and i lived in Ottawa. He is a creative free spirit and he touched all who came in contact with him.
I will miss you, Vince. Condolences to the family.

Winnie, Erin, Manny, Mary and all: Vince was such a beautiful man, one who shared his love of family with friends, and made his friends feel like family. I will never forget his kindness, support and endearing laugh. Please accept my condolences. And Vince: I'm so sorry to see you go. You are missed.

Vince, I have such happy memories of your visits to NY. I'm sure Ray was happy to welcome you into eternal life. He so loved his red wool cap!
Love and prayer from your NYC cousin Charlotte

There will be one more angel in heaven and one less kind gentle ,soul on earth. Our heartfelt sympathy to family and to the many dear friends that Vince had in his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. With gratitude for knowing you dear Vince, Kathy Turner and Denis Daoust

Ahhh Vinni,you been an amazing Friend for most of my life...the memories are exquisite...peace now!.....rb

Although I had not had contact with Vince in many years, I do have fond memories of him through my business dealings with Foreign Affairs. It was a pleasure to call him a good client then and I welcomed our interaction on projects. I know his co-workers thought very highly of him as I did. A warm and kind person he was.

I will miss my dear friend Wince. He was one of a kind. Sincere sympathy to his entire family.

Vince was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. He has been a constant in my life for the past 15 years. His passion for music and literature made for many animated discussions. He will be dearly met by all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
