  1. Tony
    So sorry for the loss of your dad.
    I was your hygienist for many years at Dr Dunn’s office. Fond memories. Prayers you are comforted during this time.

  2. This is a time of grief and sadness, but as I knew Vince he would want everyone to celebrate his life and I choose to by simply remembering all the times we spent talking and enjoying the moments we were around each other and with everyone else to.. Tony is my brother ever since we met as we shared times together with his family and mine. There is nothing that makes a time like this easy, you have my thoughts and prayers brother along with Connie my partner and I am forever hear for you and Amanda if you need us.. Love ya Bro..

  3. I was privileged to work with Vince for several years at NCDC. He was a kind and gentle person who always greeted me with a smile. I will always cherish his memory.

  4. I worked with Vince at NOAA National Climatic Data Center between 1978 and the early 1980s. He was always very kind, and clearly the smartest person in the office. I learned a lot from him. He treated everybody with fairness and respect and did not discriminate at a time when many others did.
