I will always remember Vincent as being a special person who was always the same anywhere you saw him. He was ready to strike up a conversation at any time. I am praying for the whole family at this time of loss.

We were so sorry to hear about Vincent. It brought back memories of our time in Bedford and our friendship with you guys. Today we were talking about the time Curt and Vincent found 2 old guitars and played and sang in our basement in Western Hills. He will be missed and your family will be in our prayers. In Sympathy, Patsy and Curtis Coulson
