Vince attended East Carolina University on a football scholarship for two years and later graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens with a major in horticulture.
He enjoyed landscaping and growing plants and was later involved in fence building. He loved being outdoors, fishing and crabbing with Molly and Tommy, had a great love for animals and considering them family. He was also a “kid magnet”. If he was ever around little children, they would eventually end up in his lap, checking out his beard.
“There is a collective sadness among all who knew him. The world lost a true treasure. You will be missed, Vince” A quote from a Facebook post to sum up how much Vince was loved.
