I worked with Vince in Plano, TX. There was not a nicer man in the world. He was just a pleasure to work with and know. I am so, so sorry that you have lost a father and grandfather. I think of him and am so sad he is gone.

I am truly saddened by the loss of Vince. I was so very fortunate to have had him as my boss and friend for many years. He taught me so very much about accounting and life. I will never forget him telling us `if you do what you always did, you´ll get what you always got.´ You were one class act, Vince. Fly high, Vince.
