Vincent was a talented craftsman, wood artisan, and carpenter for over 45 years. He also taught his sons to be tradesmen as well. He built many new homes and completed many remodeling projects throughout his many years of applying his trade to most everyone in the community. In later years he crafted beautiful violins and many other keepsake items. He was a good friend and neighbor to many and unselfishly shared his talents with anyone in need. Vincent leaves a legacy as well as smiles to the stories he could tell. They say, "When an old man dies, a library burns down." When Vinnie passed away there was a huge inferno.
