I just found out about your passing my friend and I am still in shock. You had a smile that lit up a room and you were always able to put one on my face. You had a good heart and would bend over backwards to help anyone in need. You were a gentlemen, which is rare these days. I know you are with God and whatever struggles you had are now over. Rest In Peace Vinnie, you will truly be missed by many. My condolences to the Russo family.
