We would like to share a few of Vince’s passions in life. Vince enjoyed music, camping, boating, fishing, karate, and racing. Vince played the saxophone, piano, and bass guitar. He composed music for his grandson’s Giovanni and Jacob and taught them how to play the piano and saxophone.
Vince was also a skilled carpenter with strong hands and enjoyed building things. He remodeled both of his grand-daughters' first homes.
Vince enjoyed practicing and teaching karate. One of his greatest accomplishments was receiving his black belt at the age of 68.
Vince also loved to drive fast with a top speed of 140 mph, and competed in numerous drag races at the Fontana Speedway in his early 70’s. He had a 2019 Challenger SRT 392 Scat Pack that he customized. He was proud that he completed a ¼ mile strip in 11.8 seconds.
Vince was a dedicated husband, dad, grandpa, and papa. He is truly loved and will be greatly missed.
