Vincent proudly served our country in the Army from 1967 - 1970.  While in the Army he worked construction as a carpenter building bridges amongst other structures.  Some of his recognition was through his awards which included the National Defense Service Medal and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.  Vincent worked as a cook as he enjoyed providing love and care through the comfort of fine cooked meals.  Vincent later moved to Arizona and continued his passion.

He met and married the love of his life – Kathleen Freitas and they shared many years filled with love and laughter with friends and family.  He enjoyed sitting on the porch visiting with friends and family and enjoyed the beauty of nature.  He had a great love of animals and cared for many dogs throughout his life.  Those close to him will carry with them Vince’s love, laughter and kindness.  Vincent believed and developed a deep relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and expressed his faith through the way he loved those around him.
