There was/is so much beauty to be found in all the relationships Vince had with each of us - He was/is a vibrant, intelligent, smart, beautiful and gifted Soul who had a genuine and authentic way of connecting - I do not believe he ever "met a stranger". Thank you, Vince, for allowing me and my family to be a part of your life. Who we were yesterday, who we are in THIS moment & who we will become with the time left for our own journeys is because we all had so many profound moments with You! You are & will be "Forever and a day" Deeply loved and cherished - Until we cross paths again! ("goodbye" will never cross my lips for you Vince) - Holsey Family
