Vince graduated from West High School with being top in his class. He went into television with KUTV Channel 2 News as part camera man and Master Control. He entered into the United States Air Force 1980-1992. When he came back home, he worked for NAC, and eventually went back to his 2 News family for a few years.
He loved to read, learn new things, help and serve others and many people in the community. He found Sacred Light of Christ Church in 1995 where he could call home with God and his church family. Vince always had a love for music and singing from being with choral in Jr High, High School, on to the Military and into his church.
Vince was and is a truly wonderful loving and giving soul. He loved people and everyone he met. He always wanted to make sure everyone else was ok. A bright light for all with his smile, hug, humor and laugh. He was happy with helping, serving, and giving to others and the less fortunate when he had very little himself, but, he always knew he had enough. He was also very courageous while fighting stage 4 lymphoma and winning the battle to be a cancer survivor.
Vinny, we love you sweetie!
