sal, francesca, and joey, at the age of 16 u hired me to work with you, vincent was 6. over the next few years i not only watched the boys grow, i became part of your family. even years later after moving on to my career, i enetred the pizza parlor thru the back door as if i had never left. i was always greeted as family, and it is how i have always felt. the news of your loss struck me as if i had lost a brother. i will miss him terribly. i will always remember vinny as that little boy i met at 16. whose giggle would fill the entire store. his smile streched from ear to ear, and who always made me feel like family. god bless u vinny, you touched so many hearts in such little time. to joey: your ability to be the rock for your family during such a difficult time borders on the incredible. love always guiseppe

God really struck gold taking away this amazing person from us..His smile and laughter will never be forgotten and he will always be missed. I will never forget going into Angelas and talking to him, he was such a sweetheart and I truly considered him to be one of my closest friends. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss, he was an angel on earth and now is one in heaven.

I am so sorry for your loss; please

know that Vincent is looking down on you now and will forever be your guardian angel. Stay strong knowing that that's what he would have wanted you to do. God Bless.

I just don't know what to say, but I just cant stop thinking about the days together in kindergarten and elementary school, your mom dropping pizza off to us during lunch or you falling backwards in your chair in Ms. Mandel's class, and her freaking out on you. Vinny you will never be forgotten; you were a great guy and a great part of many people's lives. You'll always be missed.

After learning of Vinny's passing I couldn't think straight. What can I say that already hasn't been said? I'm pissed I can't make any of the services, especially after making numerous attempts to make it happen. But my heart is with his family all the same. Goodbye my friend. God Speed.
