Oh Kathleen....I am so so sorry for your loss and everyone who knew Vince. He was a scholar and a gentleman and well loved by many. It is some comfort that he passed peacefully in his sleep....to the otherworld.

See ya there vince...may your passage be smooth amigo.

Kathleen, know that we are with you in your difficult time...we send you strength and peace to accept destiny...ride on with pride amiga!

TRAGIC news, Kathleen!

Jana's and my deepest sorrows for your loss.

Your camp won't be the same, and neither will you. I know he is in a better place now, and he passed away doing what he loved best.

Love, Udo & Jana

Dear Kathleen

Connie and I are so sorry. We are so fortunate to have spent some time with Vince and to get to know him a bit. We were looking forward to spending more visits with you. Rest in peace Amigo, you will be missed.

Kathleen,

I so enjoyed getting to know Vince over the past six years. I enjoyed his witty sense of humor and the way he made everyone comfortable in his presence.
He was born a natural leader and will be missed by his family, the Punta Banda community and by us, Christine and Larry.

tripledigitken - 2-7-2012 at 08:58 AM

So sorry for your loss. Enjoyed his posts over the years and his older avatar. RIP

Vince was a kind man, intelligent and fun. Surely his absence will be felt by many.

Vince was truly an amazing guy!! He was so laid back, but always there for his community. I am fortunate to have been a close friend of his and I will miss him dearly. Kathleen we know how much you will miss him, but his community will miss everything he did for us here in Punta Banda, the two of you always stepped up to the plate and volunteered for anything that was needed here.
My friend I know your still with us in spirit. May you rest in Peace.

Please accept my sympathies on your loved one's passing. I feel your loss. Like many nomads, we never met in person, but the comraderie on Nomads makes us all feel like we have a second family. Godspeed.

I'm not a close friend, but, close enough to enjoy his intelligence, humor and positive attitude. I hope Kathleen and the rest of the family can hang on to the great memories to get through a tough time.

Vincenzo, D.E.P.

More handsome, more intellectual and more giving than Leonard Nimoy's Spock.

DEP Vincenzo, Kathleen y Familia.

Dear Kathleen,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Luis and I met you both briefly at Del Carmen Hospital and you both were just amazing. I remember Vince telling Baja Gringo "Que Feo Se mira" and that brought a smile to BajaGringo on a much needed moment in his life. You both have an amazing loving and caring heart. God Bless you and bring you comfort.

Cyanide41 - 2-9-2012 at 08:48 AM

Sorry to hear about your loss. Going peacefully in his sleep is the best way to go.

lizard lips - 2-9-2012 at 02:50 PM

Vince was one of those guys you just wanted to be around and talk. I never heard him say a negative word and his humor was great. One of the most positive people, I am sure, I will ever meet. I'm glad I got to hang with him and will miss him. RIP my friend.
