To all his family and friends my sincere condolences. RIP- Vinnie
I love you, brother. We’re always more than cousins growing up. We were inseparable until they separated us. They couldn’t handle us together. We were just too much having the time of our lives and then I guess you were just too much for your dad. Maybe not or at least until he got an ultimatum!!! Anyways If anybody wants to god bless and give condolences for their loss they can give them to Judy DeFiore She raised my cousin since he was 15 after he got abandoned by both parents eventually.
Real funny how everybody wants to be there when somebody’s gone, but they’re never there when they’re here
Vinnie was always such a big help to our family. His presence in the neighborhood will be greatly missed from the long talks in the backyard to the 3 a.m. phone calls. He was definitely one of a kind with such a big heart, we love you Vinnie and you will be greatly missed by all of us.
