Dear Tom,
I knew your Father briefly and what a great guy! I loved talking with him because of his off the wall but educated humor! I loved him!
Vince: God Bless You and you are in heaven with no more pain and will be eternally in peace!

Thom,
Vince was a good man and will be missed. Thinking of him brings back memories of the Boy Scout days, model airplanes and Sundays grilling steaks. Vince had some rough years toward last but is now at peace.

Your father will be missed by many. I will miss his wonderful stories. He always bought me a smile to my face. His love of life, laughter and kindness to others will live through you.
