Sean and Casey,

It is so hard for me to wrap my mind around the thought that your dad is no longer with us. I can remember when he and your mom first met and everything we have all been through together…..the good, the bad, the really ugly and the hysterically funny (there was a lot of hysterically funny!) He was my friend for most of my life and I will miss him. You both know how much we love you and your mom and we are here if you need anything. Your dad adored you and was so proud of you. Know that through you, your dad lives on and he is in our hearts forever!

Karen,

There is so much I want to say and absolutely nothing I can say. He was a good man, he was one of a kind, he was Vinnie! You know you and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers…and Vinnie will always be remembered with love.

Love,
Mare, Dan and James

I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with him for a few years and had some of the funniest conversation with him during that time. Vince was a good hearted soul and would help you out in any way he could. I am sure that anyone who has ever known him will miss him dearly.. My thoughts and prayers are with you Brenda as well as Vince's children and his mother. Nacole Pigliavento

RIP to my old buddy Vince. Although I have not seen you in quite some time, our times together at Albany Business College and the memories I have from our trip to Dayton Beach during "Spring Break" in 1977 will never be forgotten! It was always good to see you at WHS for Sean and Casey's hoop games. My condolences to the family. I am sorry that I will be out of town for the Memorial Service on Friday. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and yours. You were a special friend Vince.
