Vin loved to tinker in his immaculate garage and was always fixing something and never got dirty! He owned and raced several cars that ran at the Danbury race arena, the most memorial being the purple #111 "Jackrabbit". One of his fondest memories was when he went to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Racing Experience.

Vin gave back to the Seymour community, helping families in need and giving to the local Police and Fire Departments. He was an honorary member of both Citizens' Engine of Seymour and Riverside Volunteer Fire of Oxford. He was also a member of the Seymour Lion's Club for 16 years. Above all, Vin was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who loved his family.
