The world has lost a truly kind man. I was very lucky to be able to call him Uncle Vince. He was a special kind and loving person and it was a blessing to have him as my uncle. Even though he has passed his kindness lives on in his family and the people his life touched. I love him and hope you find peace in knowing how lucky you were to call him Dad/Grandpa, etc. He will always be a loving memory in my heart.
