Vincent was a Rochester native from a large family with five siblings. As a youth, he was always busy with yard work, sports and taking care of his cars. He was a proud graduate of Aquinas Institute where he played football, basketball baseball.
He worked at Rochester Colonial, the family business, for 57 years where he served as President. He met his wife Sandra on a blind date and eventually they married at Immaculate Conception church. They later welcomed 5 children, 10 grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews into their family.
Vincent was a parishioner at St. Helen Church for over 50 years. He was a hard worker, loved being in the sun and taking care of his yard. The Bills and the Yankees were his favorite teams. Vincent loved watching the Honeymooners and the movie, The Godfather. You'd often hear him say, "I'd like to thank you all for coming."
He was a good provider, generous and kind to anyone in need. His family will remember his kind heart, generosity and the love he displayed for them.
