My condolences to the family. Vinney was one of my oldest friends at the AOH in Elmira. We had many
good ties together. He was my good friend and when I moved away we stayed in touch with emails and
Phone calls. We had much in common Irish AOH veterans....lots of memories. Rest in peace old friend.
