I was a friend of Vinny when we were very young. We went to grammar school together in 6th grade, then he went off to Cheshire Academy. We kept in touch a bit running into each other at some dances and social things. He was the sweetest kid!!! Would ask me to dance if I was sitting alone. That’s the kind of sweetheart he was. A real gentle man. Kind and thoughtful. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest In Peace dear Vinny. ❤

Dear Roseann, Denise and Vincent's family,
We were very saddened to learn of the passing of our great cousin. He was an all-around good guy, a perfect gentleman, who had an abundance of compassion and empathy in his heart for others.
It is sad to have you leave us. RIP CUZ.

My deepest sympathies to Vincent´s family and friends. I enjoyed our conversations immensely over the last few years. My daughters still talk about how Vin bought them a pack of hotdogs last year. Thanks for the memories. Until me meet again. Matt, Sarah, Ella, Mila & Johnny.
