Vince,
Although we never met but I want you to know you have a super dad. Vinny was my good friend. I last saw him in 2012. Lots of great memories of Vinny and Bill Schiltz. They are together once again now. God bless your family during this time. Dan

Vince, your in our thought and prayers.

(Jesus said:) "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.
I and My Father are one.'' (John 10.27-30)

We are so sorry to hear of Vinny's passing. He was such a kind soul under that tough Italian exterior. He was loved by many and was a blessing to all.
Love,
