He was a good soul, extremely generous, and truly loved people whom he would welcome with open arms. He was very proud of being born in South Philadelphia, where he was a lifelong resident. Above all he loved life, his Catholic faith, his friends and his family--a wonderful example of a life well-lived and deeply loved.

Yesterday

Vinny was "The Evangelist of
South Philadelphia". He was a kind and generous person.
Everyone knew him.
Many years ago Vinny invited
my family to his house for dinner. He had his brother, who was a chef make the dinner. It was a feast that would have fed 15 people.
He insisted that we had plenty of food to eat.
I´m sure Our Lord welcomed
Vinny with open Arms. Along
With Saints Maron, Rita and
Rafka.
Rest in peace, our Friend
Rich and Rita Rosati

Rest in Peace, our Friend.

Vincent was a beloved and endearing character. He was a fixture in so many Catholic places but I especially remember him in the lower shrine chapel at St Rita´s. For a time he carried an icon of St Rafka with him and he´d seat her on the chair next to him. Occasionally we would see Vinny walking in the street and we´d offer him a ride. I told my daughter that his guardian angel was a very busy creature because Vincent always got home safely. Now, he really is safely home in the Heavenly Kingdom. He was one of a kind and a true humble servant of God. Pray for us Vincent and rest in peace.
