From Nan, a friend and neighbor of Big Vinnie.

I have never blogged, and was unable to post this blog on Vince's page (not having the computer skills of the Devito family,) after several attempts,but this is what I wrote, and would have posted if I could:

"Vince always made time for his friends, and a visit. One of my favorite things about Vince was his great ability to come up with a plan, when presented with a dilemma. "Okay....so we have to make a plan."

He was a great thinker, a great problem solver, a great friend. He always had time to listen. Big Vince had a big heart ."

I think of all the Devito family often, wishing each of you the very best, at this difficult time. The passing of your Dad is a huge milestone in your lives. I think Vince was one of the lucky ones, making a quick departure when he was at peace with so many things, the joy of his family, his job, and enjoying the winter weather of Naples. He loved his children beyond anything else.
