"DA" Rooster! The mold is broken on one of the most engaging Co-Worker and totally righteous people ever. You were guaranteed a smile and left off laughing when encountering Roost. Had a ball ribbing him on his selection of his canine companion (smiling as I type)... To know Vincent was to know "one of a kind". Condolences to family Rest In Power ROOSTER .
