My daughter, Amanda, had a school project her senior year. She was to intern in her field of interest. The person that she shadowed was Lobo. She is a writer, artist, creator, and Lobo was the person that she picked. Lobo came over one evening and spent 1 on 1 time with Amanda, answering her questions, giving input, being Lobo.
He was the perfect person for this project!!! He was the perfect person for several things at our house. But most of all, he was the perfect friend and example of a honorable man that loved his family. I´m grateful that Amanda was able to see and experience that before she gets out in the world. He gave me hope for us all! We all love him so much and we are thankful to his family for sharing him with us.
Peace brother

I've known Vincent for more than 30 years. The one big thing I remember is how protective he was of the ones he loved. He you were a part of his life, & he considered you a good friend or family, you never had to worry. Vincent was the most protective person you would ever meet. He would do anything he could to make sure that you were safe, happy, & knew you were loved. He gave me my daughter, who we both cherished, & never let us forget how much he would do for us. He is deeply missed & will never be forgotten!!!

When we walked the halls of Oakland, I don't think he ever met anyone that didn't like him. Everyone be ever met became his friend. I will miss you. Even though we didn't see each other as much as in our teens, it's a lonely world knowing your so far away in our heavenly fathers arms. So long, my friend. Until we meet again. I'll remember you forever.
