Vincent is the kindest person I've ever known. We should all try to emulate just a tad of what he is and we'd be better off. There's not once I can remember asking him something and him not reaching out to help me. Whether it was to borrow a tool,ask for an egg, or just to visit and drink his wine, he'd always open his door without hesitation. When I first asked if I could metal detect his yard he SUGGESTED I go to the front for better pickings near the old walkway. With such an immaculate green yard who else would be so kind but Vince? When a branch fell, who rushed over with a saw? With the passing of Vince I've lost a friend, neighbor, and a second father figure. My family, especially my boys, will miss him dearly as well. Thanks Vince for storing my machines, the wine , crackers, tomatoes, fun in the basement with TV, sitting with me on back steps, chats at 6:30 am on front steps, watching my house, visiting the shop,giving me gas,giving me oil,and just being there for my whole family. Thanks for always welcoming me so warmly when I walked into every party and picnic without an invitation. We love you and will never forget you.
