Vin was a talented artist. He saw the beauty in God’s creation. With his paints and brushes, he tried to capture that beauty on canvas, whether it was a portrait of someone’s loved one, a family pet or the ever changing scenes of nature. He created true works of art to be admired for years to come. Vin played hockey in his younger years in the Batavia Men’s League and was an avid Buffalo Bills fan.
Vincent’s wishes were to have his body donated to science at the University of Buffalo. There will be no prior calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at a later date. He will be entombed in St. Joseph’s Cemetery.
