I'm so very sorry to hear of Vince's passing. I remember him as a very gentle, kind person, all the way from grade school through high school. I just always remember him with a smile. Rest peacefully now, as you fought the fight ~ now it's time for the sun to shine eternally on you. May your family find our Heavenly Father's love a source of strength through this very difficult time.

I ran into some San Mateo High Alums last night at AT&T park who told me about Vince's passing. I'm so sorry to hear about him going so soon. We had a lot of fun and I always enjoyed getting all of the food together for his annual Christmas party he'd throw in Redwood Shores. I heard there might be a memorial near San Mateo as well. If so, I'd love to hear about it. Rest in Peace my friend.

I am sorry to hear about Vince's passing. It has been many years since I have seen Vince, but I still have laugh out loud memories when a group of us use to hang out. One in mind is when Cathy & Greg were living in Idaho. Mike, Vince and I went to visit them. A matter of fact he used my boyfriend's airplane ticket--pre-911 they didn't even ask for ID then. He always had that confidence that people didn't question.

We were in Sun Valley, midweek and Vince knew that there were suites unsold at the hotel. Rather than split up into rooms, he managed to negotiate a great price for a beautiful suite that we could all fit. That evening, we played a charade type game and were shouting ridiculous answers and laughing so loud that the front desk called and visited the room asking us to keep the partying to a minimum....of course the game and loudness continued. The next morning the front desk apologize profusely about the raging party near us (with exagerated details) and sorry if they disturbed us....I guess they figured it could not have been us.

Fond memories.....Rest in Peace, Vince.
