Bro. Vince would have loved to attend his own funeral and shake everybody's hand andthank them for coming and for all of the nice thoughts and words. He had many friends and cared about everyone. He was a loving, caring and correcting father. He stood for what he believed in and what was right. He made the most out of every day and helped anyone that he could when he could. He never wanted us to think of the day that he would not be with us, instead he touched our lives and our hearts in some way every day that he was with us. He lived 84 years and it seems his time with us was short. We shall wait and look forward to seeing you again in the sweet by and by, and sup together ineternity.
