"I am so sorry for your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, and the kind acts of friends and strangers, give you the comfort needed to endure the days ahead. May you find comfort from the bible. In particular the scripture found at Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

"I'm Vincent's first cousin, daughter of his Uncle James(Jimmy) and Brownie was his wife. Like mentioned by my brothers Alan and John Vincent lived with us for a year. My mum Brownie remembers how when she sent him to bed she would always find him eating sweets instead of sleeping, and gather that he enjoyed his short time living with us. Yet again, it was nice to see him in 1981 in New York . Cannot believe Vincent has been taken from us at such a young age."
Alan Murray wrote on Aug 27, 2013:
"My brother just told me of Vincents passing. Like John I remember him as this cool kid from the city living with us for a while and our trip to New York when he took time off to show us the sites. As an eighteen year old I particularly remember his highly modified VW Golf (Rabbit) which cornered faster than a Go-Kart due to being only '2' inches off the ground.
I expect he will be cornering just as hard and fast wherever he is now."

"I've only just heard the sad news. A real shock. Vincent was my cousin (his mum was my dad's sister) and he lived with us for for a short while before emigrating from England to the US. He was 12 and I was 6, so it felt like I had another big brother. I didn't see him again until we visted New York in 1981. Vincent still had the same cheeky sense of humour then and he still felt like a cool older brother. I haven't seen him for more than 30 years now, but I know he had been talking of visiting England for some time and I'm so sorry he's gone."

"You will never stop laughing about me blowing up Dads station wagon, on the way to Saratoga.. You taught me how to drive and showed me how to work on cars.. You put blocks on my bike so I could reach the pedals.. To many memories over the 35 years you have been an influence in my life. I will always love and remember you. Vin."

"Dear Vincent
You were a wonderful brother in law.
I will remember your technical advice.
I will think of the plasma tv you recommended."

"Vinny was a person that everyone immediately liked, his persona, witty humor, his kind words, his unique way of expressing himself was something we all loved about him. Such a loss of a friend and co-worker, he is the guy that we all sought to spend some time with as it was always enjoyable. His love for his car was always something we discussed, one of the many stories I have about Vinny is the one where I shared with him numerous times and each time we would laugh like it was the first time I told it. One Holiday night while driving to work I noticed headlights at a distance from me as if they were side by side at a fast pace, I immediately signaled and changed lanes as it appeared there were racing on I-75 as the cars passed me it was Vinny in his Audi but the Corolla had taken him. I would say "Vinny a Corola?" he would go into his rumbled laugh and always say "I liked the way you signaled and moved over" and talked about his intercoolers were being cooled as he passed me. "I let up" he would say, as silly as that was it was just fun to watch him and be with him with his proper Englsh and accent laugh about it. I will miss our boy Vinny, A guy that I could always depend on getting me out of a problem with a piece of equipment. I called on him several times over the years, didn't matter what time it was he was available and it didn't matter if he had to drive to Miami he would be there for me. What a great loss to us all, may the lord bless his soul and watch over him in his eternal life."

"Vinnie,
I still remember all the fun we had "working" together on the graveyard shift in South Florida. All the trips to Homestead to see your favorite sport, Racing. All the plans for having the fastest turbo Audi. Your were one of the most sincere and honest friends one could have, instantly enduring yourself to others soon after meeting you. I was just using one of your many unique expressions yesterday, many hours before being notified of your passing. For the (tragically) few years we hung out together before I transferred away, I counted you as one of my closest friends. Your passing will leave many others and me with a profound sense of loss due to your kindheartedness and unique joy that you bring others being so difficult to replace- impossible to replace. You're one of a kind and I know Jesus is enjoying your presence as I write this. Goodbye, dear friend; I'll see you on the other side."
