Judy and Family.

I am said that Vince has passed on. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Vince helped me many times in my time of need for radio stuff. Vince was a great person and helped everyone if they asked for it. He always helped you by letting you know how to help your self. So he was a tricky teacher in his own way. I enjoyed the time I spent with Vince on the T-hunts and other occasions. I will and have missed his emails he sent out of jokes and things.

Vince, I will miss you. You were a part of my life and always will be part of my memory.

Dear Julie & family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. Words can not express the sorrow we feel for your loss. May God bless you and keep you. We love you.

Dear Judy, Julie, Bob and Dee,



We have always remembered Judy and Vince's beautiful wedding and regret not having more occasions to be with them during their forty two years of marriage. We also remember them suprising us with their visit to Julie and and Dee's home in Murietta on the occasion of Bob's last birthday. To this day, we still have on display, in our home, a small Spanish wooden horse that Vince gave us after a trip he made to Spain with the Navy Reserve. To Judy, our deepest sympathy on the loss of a wonderful Husband; to Julie, her loss of a devoted Father. And, to Bob, Dee, and to us, the loss of a kind and loving "gentle man".,



Uncle Bill and Aunt Coramae

When we think of Vince, we think of him teaching Julie what she would need to know as she made her life choices. Julie, you have such a treasure in your life and heart that can never die because Vince lives on, in you. Our prayer is that this will be a comfort to you, Judy and your family as you face the challenges ahead. We love you and send you hugs.

Dear Judy, Julie, Bob and Dee



I am just so happy I had the chance to spend time with Vince last September when I was in Reno. It was so much fun getting to know Vince better. The meals together, the friendship we shared and the fun we had at that Blackjack table together are memories I will never, ever forget.



All of you are like family to me but I think you already know that.



All my love, always.
