To The Vincent Family:

You all have our deepest condolences. James and I worked together with S&WB for over 30 years until I retired. After retiring, James and I still kept in touch. James was someone I would call for advice on different things, weather it was financial advice or something with my computer. I would also share different things with James about my son when he was playing football with LaTech. I will miss our crazy conversations. Rest in peace my friend.
