I was so saddened to hear about Vin's passing. He just emailed me a week or so ago. Although we were not close in age, Vin and I were like to kindred spirits and always got along so well in our time together at Argent and the years that followed. I thought of him as a father figure and mentor and I think he enjoyed being around me as well. I learned so much from him and more than anything, I knew he truly cared for me and my family, and the feeling was certainly reciprocal. He would always ask about my parents, fiancee at the time (now my wife) and my new baby, although he never met them. I am sad that I will not be able to speak or see Vin anymore, but I know that he lived a full, happy life and he is now resting without illness. I will miss him and I wish the very best to Renata and the rest of his family. God bless you.
