Vincent and my friendship really began when we both moved to Halifax after high school and had an apartment with Alan Frost and Bill Nickerson who became our friends for life. We had great times together with very little money. We often went to the YMCA and played table tennis because it was free, and went out on the town together when we could.
Vincent got me interested in baseball and we listened to the Yankees games on the radio every night. When the Blue Jays began, I changed to become a Blue Jays fan and he stayed with the Yankees. After that we were always in contention about whose team was best. Even up to this year, Vincent and I would be in contact about who won the game. He loved it when the Yankees won.
We played a lot of golf together. We had good times there too.
I had the distinct honour to be his best man at his wedding.
I have lost a dear friend.
My wife, Darlene and I extend our deepest condolences to Vincent's family at this very sad time.
