A devoted member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, he served as a Eucharistic Minister for many years until his death. He was retired from 38 years of service with Emery Worldwide and a former member of the board of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Lackawanna County. An avid Philadelphia Phillies fan, Vincent will always be remembered as a kind, loving and generous husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and close friend.
