I started my career in 2001 at Sandia National Laboratories working with Vince. As a new senior manager he was full of energy and personally engaged with staff. He awed me with his kind and generous approach and after transferring to California I thought and spoke of him often. Over the years, he became my management archetype, from which I patterned my current management style, aspects of which have even influenced my approach as a father. My condolences for your loss. He will be missed.

I just read about Vince's passing in the Sandia Lab News. I was a colleague of Vince at Sandia and he was always the consummate professional and warm-hearted person. I last saw him at Costco a few years ago before he retired from Sandia. His life was precious, albeit way too short. All blessings to you, Carolyn, and to the family.

This was very sad news to hear of Vince's passing. I really enjoyed working with him at Sandia, before my retirement. He always had a great since of humor and fun to talk to. My condolences are with his family, he will be missed.

Our condolences to Carolyn and all the family. Vincent was a great guy and we have fond memories of him when we kicked around in the 80s, friend gatherings at Frijoles Canyon, watched him play basketball and played baseball. Also my cousin. May he rest in peace in our Lord's loving hands.
