Vinnie was a friend of mine. Great guy with a heart of gold. He was always very kind and respectful. Gentle spirit who was a bit tortured with depression and uncertainty, but was very kind-hearted. He shared many stories and would share them with good humor with anyone who would listen. Though there was some darkness in his life, it is the good times and the kind spirit that I most remember about him.

I found by 95' vinnie had come into his own.
His chops were actually pretty kewl..

4 years with the dead...If he had went ten years people
would have gave him respect that would have been well desereved.

R.I.P Vinnie, and may the four winds blow you safely home...
Lossless

He was always in the crowd chatting (at every small show in CA and OR I was at)I had multiple occasions where I could see how things were going and talk about how life had changed from the Tubes etc... He loved to chat (as mentioned above) It was great that he was a personable fellow. He got "us"... He will be missed.
