Remembering you with nothing but fond memories on this, the one year anniversary of your passing. Family functions are just not the same without you, but we KNOW you are in a better place, free of all pain, and looking down on us every day. Hope you are playing some bingo with my Mom and Dad.

We miss you so much Vinnie! We hope you're watching down on us smiling and saying "How Sweet it is"

I have many fond memories of Mr. Ricucci, the smell of his meatballs cooking on Sundays(and Brenda & I sneaking one when he wasn't looking), the Saturday trips to the grocery store, Montrose Church on Wednesday night and my father and brothers getting the hair cut in the basement, are just a few. Mr. Ricucci was a good man, lead a good life and I will always remember him and his smile.

Love to all, April

Aunt Alice, Ronny, Tommy,& Brenda,

So sorry for your loss.Uncle Vince always seemed to be the life of the party and never failed to interject a little levity when needed. I'll never forget, and will always be grateful for, all of the time he spent with daddy in the last months of his life. Both of them are in a better place now.

December 18, 2006

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Our prayers are with you all.

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us (written by Helen Keller). May your memories live in your heart always.

Love,
Jim, Cathy and Cassandra Kehr

We are so lucky to have had a great man for a father. He always had a smile on his face and such deep love for his family and friends,
I will miss him so much. "My Chicky Baby" will always be my fondest memory of Dad. I hope he is at peace
now looking down on us with all his love. I love you Daddy forever!

Ron & Donna:
I guess it's a sign of age when you log on here to sign the guestbook of a friend that has suffered a loss and see another familiar name. Ron: so sorry to hear about your Dad. Although we have lost touch with each other, I remember fondly dinners and Redskin games and think of you often. In fact, your daughter-in-law was my wife's nurse at Shady Grove when our little girl was born four years ago.

My best wishes to you and your family, and again, I am very sorry for your loss.

Emanuele Fontana

We are very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is one of the most difficult times of our lives. My hope for Brenda, Ron and Tom is that when little things happen that remind you of your dad, just take a moment to reflect, smile, and remember what a wonderfull guy he really was. You never know when it will happen or why, but enjoy those moments when they come to you. Over all of these years, you and your parents were extended family to all of us, and we'll all miss Vince.

Ron,
I did not know your dad, but I have known you since you were a 19 year old college student who would come to our office at Juvenile Court to visit your beloved Donna. He raised a great son, so I am sure your dad was a wonderful man. May God rest his soul, and bring peace to the family.

Dear Ron and Donna,
I only had the privilege of meeting Vince one time, at Ron's retirement party from Front Royal. He was so excited to be there and was so proud of Ron's success as our Police Chief. I only wish I could have known him longer. He was such a delightful gentleman that night. May your memories of a proud father comfort you in the days ahead.

Vince has been a second Dad to me for as long as I can remember, and I will miss his smile and happy nature, as well as so many other things. I love you, but am happy that you have gone to a better place where there is no pain and suffering. In no time at all, you'll be playing bingo with my Mom and arguing over who brings the candy. I'll miss you and will never go a day without thinking about you until we meet again.
