Vince's Story
Hello to Vince's friends from St. Pete High. I am his wife.
Vince passed away on March 31 of 2008. He had been in a car accident in 1990 and was partially paralyzed but was still very active.
He entered the hospital in November of 2007 and eventually succumbed to pneumonia.
He had worked for the Ocala Star-Banner from 1979 until 2005. He was the sports editor at the time of the accident but after he went back to work he was eventually reassigned from sports to editorial and special reporting on politics and military stories. He covered the 2004 Democratic ...Expand for more
convention in Orlando.
He continued his involvement with sports through a basketball scouting service which he sold to colleges around the country. He was considered one of the most knowledgeable people in the state about Florida basketball players.
Prior to his injury he had coached an amateur softball to second place in the nation.
We were together for 27 years. Married for 14. We had no children but he was a loving father to my son and doting grandfather to my grandchildren. I couldn't have asked for a better man.
He is sadly missed by all of my family.
