Dear Mehgan and Family,
It's because of you that I met your kind-hearted Dad in 2005 and we've been friends ever since. We had many great times together and long phone conversations. He was always so upbeat and cracking hilarious jokes. He was so caring about others especially you and your Grandma. I remember that wonderful wedding reception he had for you and Henry --- he was in his glory doing that for you! He enjoyed going on cruises and buying his cars and pitching in to help those who needed his plumbing expertise. I am so sorry for your sudden loss. You are in my prayers.

Mrs. Perrone, I am so sorry. Vinny was so special. Very generous and caring. At the Amos Lake Beach Club in 1968 we had crushes on each other. I remember I made a collage for him. He always made me feel special. And he made me laugh always. I thought that I would get a chance to see him again. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I will be thinking of you. He introduced me to Meagan one time and I know he was very proud of her and he enjoyed being a father.

To the Perrone family -
I am so sorry to hear of Vinnie's passing. I met him over several years during the outages at Millstone. Vinnie always had a smile on his face and a laugh to go along with it.
I will miss him walking through the processing center and seeing him in the unit.

My deepest sympathies. Vinny was a kind hearted man that was always enjoying the little things life had to offer. He spoke to me about the importance of family. Although I only knew Vinny for a short time, I will always remember him as a happy, caring man. May you rest in peace and harmony with the universe Vinny!

My heart is broken.Vinny truly was the sweetest,kindest and generous man. He did so many kind things and was very modest about his good deeds.I have referred to him as "My Knight in Shining Armor" many times. Vinny had a heart of GOLD.We all know what a joker he was and with me he was always little "softer"He came to keep me company at the corn stand this summer. We talked and laughed for hours, a day I will always cherish. Another special gift from Vinny. God has our angel now. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.
