Vincent became a dedicated worker for Piedmont Airlines, which changed to US Airways, and then to American Airlines. Vincent had an admirable work ethic and was always on time for work during his 34 years of employment. Vincent was a loving husband and father that always put his family first. Vincent and Susan have three children who love their father dearly. As a father Vincent did everything and anything for his children. Whether it was fixing a car, helping them move, or supporting them in all their endeavors. As a son, Vincent was nothing but caring and loving to his mother, he was always there for her at the drop of a hat for anything. As a friend, he always provided kindness, support, a listening ear, and a helping hand. He was a reliable and honorable man who was willing to help anyone. Vincent had numerous hobbies, he loved to play the drums since he was a teenager and continued to play in several bands throughout his life. Vincent was an avid sports player.

On his days off Vincent loved to relax in his pool, ride his motorcycle, or watch the Packers, Yankees, or Ranges play. Vincent loved his mother’s cooking and enjoyed anything she made; his favorite were her delicious rice balls. Vincent had a light that shined on everyone he came in to contact with. He was the son his mother couldn’t be prouder of. The friend you could always depend on, the husband you loved with all your heart, and parent that you hope to be.
