I loved talking to Vince and his wife Agnes. They were such great neighbors when they lived on N Lumber St Allentown. I was thinking about him a lot lately and sorry to see he's gone on but happy to know he's with his beloved Agnes.
I miss you both!

Dear Jeff, Dennis, Roger, Lisa and Matthew.
I have so many fond memories of each of you, your Mom and your Dad. I know my Mom had been very grateful to both your Mom and Dad for everything they had supported her with over all those years on Lumber Street. Oh what memories from Lumber Street.
Your Dad was extremely talented and I always found myself learning from him. He was very friendly to everyone. The stories can flow as the tears are streaming down my cheeks as I remember him. Quite a man. You were very lucky to have had him all these years. Love to all of you.

Vince, even though I had only spent a few hours with you, you touched my life and heart in a very special way. Your humor was second to none. You made me laugh and smile with each visit. It was my honor to meet Lisa's dad. You will be missed by your family and so many others who were part of your life. I'm sure you are now back with your wife and all those who were waiting in heaven for you. You now are one of God's angels... with a sense of humor. Don't worry, Lisa, Robert and Emily are in good hands with us at church, who love them. Your entire family will be fine. Until we meet again, please put a good word for me with the big Guy. I need all the help I can get. (wink). Thank you for blessing my life.Love you!
