I speak about you often especially to new recruits and new troopers about following your dream and doing the job you love on every shift. Your career was not long but it made a lifelong impact on the people you did serve. Your photos hang in my office at the barrack above my desk to remind me of the ultimate sacrifice you gave and to never forget the great highway patrolman you were. Miss ya and love you big guy.

So many years later I still think about especially when I drive over the bridge an each every time I remind her how we both knew. We rode together many times and we talked about many things an your desire to become an officer. I tell her each time how we all went to breakfast together. When you were the guard I always took you with me everywhere in Camden,and still took you with me on rides outside of Camden, we went everywhere.It was always a pleasure to talk to you and I was so happy the day I found out you were hired.It was tragic the day I heard of your accident, You will always be remember because you were loved by so many. I sorry the way things turned out because you were an achiever an you were accomplishing things you wanted in life. you will always be remember my friend. Ish

17 years ago was an awful day for us, but a joyous one in Heaven when you were reunited with loved ones who have passed before you. Memories of you remain strong and happy, and I take every opportunity to share them with my family and friends (many I have come across this past year who knew you and shared their own fond reflections).

I know you will continue to be honored and am grateful as it will keep your legacy alive. And I know when my time here passes; I will get to dance with you in Heaven.

I still watch the tape of you and me when you came over and let me play with the sirens in your cop car and sat on your lap. And then when I was in my accident in January, You were with me.

I will always love you. you always come up in conversations with me and my mom... i always tell her how much i miss you and how i wish you were here to see how much Kristi and I grew up.

Vince,

I can remember the last time I saw you at the Wawa in Williamstown right before you got the job at the port authority. We was reflecting on policing because at that time I was doing Class I work in Ocean City and you was doing some work down the shore as well.

Now every time I cross the bridge I salute you and make sure I look at your name on the building.

Rest in peace, my friend I miss you

Vincent, although I never had the priviledge of knowing you, and you left this world 5 yrs before I came to Delaware, your name still comes up from time to time while I am on patrol. Just tonight, I was patrolling a community and an older man had expressed his appreciation for what I do, and he mentioned that he still recalled the day you left us. He said that is was so senseless, the other driver wasn't paying attention and you were too young and too handsome (yes, a man said this so it must be true!!! lol) to be taken to heaven this soon. I could sense his appreciation for the ultimate sacrifice you made that day, and know that you are not forgotten, even by those who never knew you. Rest in peace brother.

Vince,
When I worked on the ferry as a summer officer, we talked many a day aboard the boats. Even though I was only a "seasonal" officer at the time, you did not speak down to me, you treated me like an equal. I will always remember talking with you and thinking about how I could start my career in law enforcement. I may be 3000 miles away here on the West coast, but you are not forgotten.

Rest in peace and save me a spot up there!!

Vince,

Your name came up today in briefing, funny how time goes by. Seems like only days ago we were talking in the station about all the police officers being killed and how tired we were of going to the funerals. I think we were going to Lee Gonzalez's funeral. We haven't been over to Twin Bridges in a few years now because we use the ferry but I still think about what you said to me in the station that day, it seemed like only a couple of days later my wife was yelling out the door at me to come look at the TV. Rest in Peace Vinny you are always in our thoughts.

We had a connection that not many in our families understood. I looked up to you as if you were my own brother and were grateful for the years we knew each other. It wasn't easy keeping the peace amongst all, but with you around, things were smoother and more enjoyable.
Sometimes I wonder how it would be now if you were still alive on this earth and part of my family. Would you be laughing at my children's jokes, attending my family gatherings, giving my nieces dates the evil eye, enjoying the awesome dance moves my son has (and teaching him some more)? What would your children be like?
These 14 years without you have never been easy and has been filled with a lot of "what if's". At least I'm comforted to know I had a lot of fun "we had's" and the memories often bring me peace.
We all loved you, your smile, your laugh, your heart, your dance (yeah, you were the best at this - hands down). I do my best to pass the memory of you to my children and hope you are watching over them from heaven, along with the rest of your neices & nephews. Someday we'll see each other again, and when that time comes I request a hug and a dance my Brother!
