I want to offer my condolences to Vail’s family.
I know only too well the pain and shock of loosing a loved one quickly and unexpectedly.
I met Vail in 2002 and always enjoyed talking to him about his two passions: Chess and  his fantastic paintings!
We emailed each other just 3 weeks ago and shared our excitement, on our future games together!
I will miss him!
Sincerely,
George Winsor

Dearest Rena I am so very sorry to hear about your loss of Vail.  All of us who loved him feel your loss. I have so many great memories of our friendship on the Cape and years later as we reconnected through Facebook.  I got to spend time on the Cape with him about 10 years ago.  Great laughs and good talks.  I will treasure his prints that he sent me over the years.  A beautiful artist and a wonderful man.  You and your family are in my heart and my prayers.
Love,
Terri

So sorry to hear of Vails passing Rena.  I had not seen Vail in a long time but I enjoyed communicating with him on Facebook !  I have good memories of growing up in Sagamore only a couple houses away.  RIP Vail🙏

My condolences to his family and the rest of his friends and loved ones.. I'll miss our frequent discussions.. Be at rest Vail until we meet again...!

I knew Vail as an art friend.  Although always on the cantankerous side, he was a joy to be with.  He always kept you on your toes.  It was truly a surprise to see of his passing.  Didn't think the devil would want him.

My sincere condolences 💐.

As a follow artist throughout many years, Vail and I would connect at art shows. 
The last time I met him was October 26, 2024, by chance, at Seafood Sam, in Sandwich, MA. 
We both sat down and talked about art, while we waited for our order.  🎨

May your happy memories of Vail give you peace and comfort.

To All of Vail's family I send my sincerest condolences.  He was definitely a man to be proud of.  So accomplished in his life as an amazing Painter and of course his love of chess.
     To Vail, I just can't believe you are gone. You were the kindest, sweetest man I could have ever asked for.  You had a great sense of humor and our personalities meshed so well.  I loved to watch you paint and was mesmerized by your amazing talent. We had so much fun together and had plans  for so many adventures to come.  You've been so supportive of my upcoming surgery and gave me the courage to see this through. Although I can't be there tomorrow because of my health I definitely will be there in spirit. Just like I know you will be with me in spirit on Thursday.  I will miss you every day of my life . I will always keep your memory close in my heart. 
Please save a seat next to you in heaven for me. I love you Vail.
                                  Always,
                                   Barbara
