A poem I made for dear Vince which I read to him at our last friends lunch at Riverhead Tavern May 20 2017, then at his service.

Ruggerdly handsome,
Tall and kind,
Strong and funny,
You are one of a kind.
Glass half full, action man,
Hardworking, adventurous,
Always willing to lend a hand.
Good friend, good fun,
We love to be around you,
Our love and prayers, we surround you.
Our bodies age,
We're not invincible,
Like we used to think.
Now we know what's more important,
Lets write it down in ink.
To love, have faith,
To care and laugh,
To do our best to be there,
We love you Vince,
Our good friend,
A toast to you we will always share.

We were blessed to have you as a friend and will always have happy memories of our good times together. Enjoy the surfing in heaven and we look forward to some more bbqs together when we get there.
