April 19, 2025, Vince and family were on my family’s first overseas tour and they enabled my family to love that tour. Lots of family sports and individual sports with Vince and others as it was a real team spirted site. Lots of laughs and will always remember good things about Vince.
Vince always had a gungho attitude. I never worked directly with him, but both he and Amy provided valuable assistance during one of my extended tdys to one of the less than desirable places on the face of the earth. He also assisted in several different ways over the years. So sorry to hear of his passing. Praying for Amy and the whole family.
Vince was all business and that suited me fine, but he knew how to live the good life apart from business. He frequently comes to mind but, in particular, I remember one Thanksgiving when he demonstrated an outlook on life that I’ve tried to emulate. He was a protector of the USA. RIP
