I send all of my prayers to your family. I know this is a very challenging time in your life but please know there are people around you that are there for you to lean on. Francis if you ever need to talk i'm here. I know the pain you are going through. It has been almost seven years now for me but it still feels like yesterday.

Francis,
Though you can't see Vincent may you always feel his presence.

Dad...I miss you. I can't grasp that you are no longer waiting on the other end of the phone. To me, you are still there...waiting with a funny quip. I just cannot let you go. I wont. I love you.

I will always be grateful to Vince for the kindness and compassion that he showed our son, Travis. Vince would always ask how he was doing and he called frequently to check on him and our family. Vince was a fantastic friend to Alan and he helped me many times see the brighter side of life. Our entire family will miss him and we will always remember him with love and gratitude.

Our family will truly miss Vince. He was one of the many people who made Chris feel comfortable at church before he was baptized. He always made sure the boys could get together and have fun outside of church. And he was one of the few people I knew who appreciated the music of 'Lil' Wayne (Only Vince would get the humor in this!)
To Francie, Erica, Laura, Ethan & the rest of the family we send our sympathies & love. What a great man!

I will always remember calling the house and Vince answering the phone. Often times we would banter back and forth in good clean fun. We didn't always view things from the same perspective and he would always make fun of my gung-ho attitude, but we would talk about many subjects and interests...he will truly be missed by all of us.

Vince was a wonderful man. I will miss his summer visits, his jokes, talking about music, his love for Francie and his grandkids, and his general zest for life. Francie -- you and the kids and grandkids will continue to be our prayers.

Francie, words cannot express our thoughts for you and your family at this time. We love and respect Vince so much and will miss him tremendously. I keep playing over in my mind all the great memories we have with the two of you; all the laughter and sweet moments. I'm so grateful for the past few summers and all the fun we've had. Please know we love you and our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Francie, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I know Vince was a loving husband and father who will be greatly missed. Words are often not enough at times like this, but please know that John and I have you in our prayers.
