To the family of Vince, I'd like to express my deepest sympathy on his passing and to acknowledge that although I didn't know Vince well, I heard only wonderful things about him from his in-laws and that he was someone Special and will be missed by many. God bless all of you who knew him well and know that my prayers are with you now and in the future. We all have our journeys here and his was one of

It was such a pleasure knowing and working with Vince. He had the best smile ever. I was able to spend some time with him and Helena on their last trip to Florida just before the newest grandbaby was born and will cherish that visit forever. Our deepest sympathies go out to Helena and family during this difficult time. Sandy & Jimmy Lindsey.

Dear Helena and family,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss, but I am so thankful for the blessing of Vince's friendship. Warrior is such an apt description; Vince was brave, kind, and loved life and his family above all else. May God and sweet memories
sustain you and bring you comfort. With love, Anita Evans

Vince was "the man", not only in my eyes but a lot of us. He was always there in so many ways. A leader, a kind, compassionate human being and all the things a husband, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend could emeplify. We are all better off from knowing Squatty; our thoughts and prayers are with you Helena and your entire family at this time. I'll continue to smile with the mere thought and mention of his name; God bless you Vince and continue his blessings upon your family.

When I was a young boy and Vince was a teenager, the Cravotta's would make a trip from York, Pa. to visit the Gandolfi's in Rocky River, Ohio. In my recollection this happened frequently and it was such a great adventure. I looked up to Vince. I remember my impression of Vince then as a strong guy, great athlete, and very kind, always ready to show me how to throw a football or play basketball.
In spite of our absence of

We knew Vince since our college days and continued our friendship with a close-knit group of couples formed during our teaching days together. The times shared, parties, travels are now memories that will forever be etched in our hearts and minds. Vince definitely knew how to put the spark into a gathering of any sort. Helena, you and Vince truly exemplified faith, support, hope and strength for all of us to witness throughout Vinnie's challenges and struggles. Our condolences are also extended to Jen and Anthony and their families.
