What can I say? But, that he was, without a doubt, my favorite Uncle. Uncle Vincent was really like a father to me. We all raced go carts back in the 70’s and he was always there to support us, and into the late 80’s-90’s he continued to be there for us with our racing at AMS. Uncle, I will miss you terribly, Love You and Godspeed….Richie
