Vincent's Story
Life
Hi NHS! It's been a while since the reunion, seems like yesterday though. I have been married for 35 years and have 2 sons ages 35 and 33.
After NHS I went to Norwalk State Tech and then BEI and obtained my BSEE.
In October of 1976 I went to the Danbury School of Aeronautics for flight training and in August 1977 I earned my private pilot license.
I worked for Perkin-Elmer for 17 years on both Military and Comercial electronics. Currently I am working for UTC Aero Space Systems ISR Systems in Danbury.
My family and I have resided in Southbury since 1980 and I have been active in community service. In 1980 I joined the Southbury Volunteer Fire Department as a firefighter and have served for 28 years. I have held fire officer positions of Lieutenant, Captain, Assistant Chief and Chief of Department(1995-1998).
In 1992 I started on a life long interest, stock car racing. I was the owner/driver of a Late Model Stock Car until 2000. I raced at Stafford Springs, Waterford Speedbowl and Thompson Speedway. I achiev...Expand for more
ed many top 10 finishes and was 15th in points out of 40 cars in 1998 at the Waterford Speedbowl. In March of 2000 I sold the car and worked on a Modified. I drove that car 6 times in 2000 and was crew chief until 9/01.
In August of 2001 I was re-certified to fly again and that is now my favorite past time. I have had a passion for aviation since I was in elementary school.
I fly out of Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Oxford, CT. Since 2001 I have obtained my Commercial License and Instrument Rating.
I am also very active in Christ the Redeemer Church and have a one on one friendship/fellowship ministry.
In December of 2013 we moved due to my wife's health issues. She could no longer climb the stairs at our Southbury home and needed a one level house. As a result we are now living in the small town of Bethlehem CT. I miss the FD in Southbury and my friends but I get there when I can.
As you can see I keep busy!
I would love to hear from anyone who may remember me or wants to chat! You can also find me on facebook.
