Vince, one of eight children, his dad an immigrant from the Philippines, and mother an Italian-American.

​

​

He joined the US Marine Corp, serving his country like a true American. Also, becoming a very successful business man as the National Marketing Director at Graybar, an American employee owned corporation, listed on Fortune 500. An adored husband and father, survived by his loving wife Caroline, children Ramona & Matthew and seven grandchildren.

​

​

Vince spent his retired years playing tennis, music, taking photographs, spending time with his family, and most honorably, spending 12 years working with Hospice Patients on a weekly basis. My fondest memories of him come at a very young age. It was at my first Communion, and while keeping to myself in the back yard, he approached me with camera in hand and said.

​

“Hey kiddo, whatcha up to? Would it be ok if I take your picture in that nice fancy suit? If not, that’s ok too.” That was the very moment Vince taught me about respect, trust and kindness, which was the beginning of my journey with a great friend. He was the inspiration to learn photography in my teenage years.

​

Vince, you will be dearly missed by many!
