Deb, I'm so sorry you are going through this time. Vince was a great guy. When I took a tech-math class at MCC, I was the only girl in the class and Vince was the only person I knew. He was such a gentleman and walked me to my car after class. When our class got out, it was dark and we parked in the back parking lot and I was the only girl. He made me feel safe and could always make me smile. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow.
I remember meeting Vince a few times when I was younger. He was a friend of my dad's as they both worked at Herman Miller. My dad (Frank) talked fondly of Vince, may he rest in peace.
