I first met Vincent at Bedford Hills School in 6th grade. Such a nice guy, and smart student. Condolences to his family, and rest in peace, Vincent.

Vince was a true inspiration to me. I would see him almost every day in the yard working. Walking slow with the walker. He didn´t let that walker hold him back. He loved to work in his yard. He is surely going to be missed.
