Although you rest in the hands of our Lord now. I will never forget the the school laughs we had with you and David Ganeto and Jackie Mailloux.
May you rest in peace.

I don't recall when I first met Vennie. As a family member, I think you take for granted that 'he's always been there'. When I think of Vennie, I think of a handsome ("UGLY", lol), articulate, intelligent, gentle man dedicated to his Faith, his Family, & his Community. But he was human. He had his faults, like we all do, but his humble genuine love for others & for God, which he showed by 'action', more than mere words, made a profound positive 'ripple effect' on many. God blessed us, bringing Vennie into our lives. I have faith that God is taking good care of Vennie now, and will help those 'left behind' and those that seek His help. Vinnie.. until we meet again...

My Brother in Christ...... Did not know you long but you touched our Heart with your Love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! You taught, You Loved, You Listened. Our time on this earth is a blip in time therefore I will see you for Eternity soon enough. In the meantime God has just welcomed one of his Children back home
