Dear Rose and Family, Please know our Love, our Prayers, our Thoughts and our Condolences are with you. Vince was a kind man, always ready with a story and lit up when you asked about his grandchildren. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for family or friends. We will miss him, his smile and his friendly wave.

Dear Rosalie and family,

I was sorry to hear of Vince's passing.I knew Vince as a young gentleman when he came to America and lived at my parents home. He was always wanting to help both of them around the house,and then when he was staying at my sister's and brother in-law.He was excepted by all of our relatives here and in Florida and joined us in all of our festivities.My thoughts and prayers of sympathy are with you and the family. I am unable to attend the viewing or the Mass.I will be thinking of you with prayers at that time. I am in an assisted living home in Mechanicsburg and can not get around too well.
