Vince was a good friend and neighbor of my dad, Friend and coworker of mine that took good care of me at Westinghouse. He was a very smart, kind man. My condolences to Barb, Paul, Madonna and Carmen.
To the Indelicato Family, and to The rest of Vince’s Family,
Vince will never be forgotten, he was such a beautiful soul, with a beautiful heart! I will never forget the smile he always had on his face, and laughter that came from his voice!
I will never forget my wedding day when he, and several of the minstrel group sang at my wedding! These guys voices were like choirs of angels singing on a cloud for our most Heavenly Father! One of the songs I had Vince sing was Ava Maria, and oh how beautiful the sound in the church and through the rafters when he sang that song! Vince had one of the most amazingly beautiful Italian voices that I had ever heard! I loved to just sit and listen to hear him sing! Thanks for letting him be a special part of that amazing day in my life!
Vince I also want to thank you for hugging me when you saw me, and for telling my baby girl how beautiful she was when ever you saw her. I will never forget you Vince,
nor will my family, you have always meant the world to the Davenport Family!
We Love ❤️ You Vince, And Will Never Forget You!
I knew Vince quite well, and worked with him for many years at Eaton-Cutler Hammer. He was a good man, and a dedicated employee who always did a fine job. My sincere condolences and sympathy to all family, and friends.
The Indelicato Family
Deepest condolences to all of the Indelicato family. I worked with Vince for 20 years at Westinghouse/Eaton Cutler Hammer. He was on the early team of individuals from Buffalo that helped establish a vert effective and successful relocation to Asheville. He was always a ver knowledgable, outgoing, and hard working individual who loved his family. I enjoyed working with him and found it a pleasure to talk with him. May the Lord bless you and give His peace to each of you at this time.

I have very fond memories of Vince from the Westinghouse days in the 70’s and 80’s. He was a very kind man and easy to talk with. My prayers are with you Paul and the rest of your family.
This is for a Friend who I will miss, which will forever be a part of me. Vincenzo as I liked to call him had a warm heart, which helped guide others. Many a meal we broke bread and told stories. Then there was Karaoke, what a voice. To you guys (The family), prayers and hugs.
Dear Paul
Sending heartfelt and deepest Sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your Dad : (Vince, a kind and talented man.). May God’s love comfort all of you at this time. ❤️Chuck and Nancy Jervis
I worked with Vince in Buffalo and Arden. He was always enthusiastic; his demeanor put everyone at ease. I recall one day in Arden when Vince and Ed Kwiatkowski were discussing their favorite food. You know Vince was bery fond of food. They had me stumped when mentioning ‘garachkees’. After a few chuckles they told me ‘you know, the keys you use to open the garage door’. The move from Buffalo to North Carolina was a shock to some; Vince took it in stride. I have fond memories of Vince, I bet the food in heaven is delicious, save me a plate!
