This is Toni

Today marks 5 long hard years since we lost him

Here are some of the Mustang gatherings that he so loved
and traveled from either Connecticut or North Carolina to be part of:

1. Corn Feed - Des Moines Iowa - hosted by Bob Dooley
2. Mini Feed - Rising Sun, MD - hosted by Nick Magilton
3. Myrtle Beach Blast (MBB) - hosted by Ron Weber
4. He flew out to Calif for be part of the final tribute for John Pro
and of course
5. The wonderful Annual California 4 day meet at Knots
Most arrangements of events were made by Michael Gullery

I hope some of you remember him

If my tear drops grow flowers, then Vin is surrounded
by lovely gardens

Thank you ALL for being his friend for so many years.

(2015 was the 13th year with Stangfix and Vintage Mustang
forum before that)

Toni:

Great to hear from you. For those of us from the old VMF/StangFix crowd that made the trek to Knott's every year, I can say with affection that both you and Vinny added so much to the experience . Those were the best of times. Thanks for the fond memories. Wishing you the best in the coming year.

Warm regards, Jeff

I sure do remember him, and you too. You both added so much to our Knotts weekends. I miss that yearly get-together, and you and Vinny.
 
I was thinking about you guys this last weekend. Been packing and going through my mustang stuff. Can’t believe it’s been 5 years.

Hope is all well with you Toni.
 
Vince was (and still is in my book) the Man.

Funny guy who loved old Fords and THE PEOPLE WHO SHARED HIS PASSION.

I've got several photos of him Toni pinned to the wall in my office.

Car friends come and go but there will never be another Uncle Vinny.

Love you Vinny.

Mike - We are well, thanks.

Think about you and Jo and the whole crew that drove down from NorCal often. Good times to be sure.
Our best to JoAnn.
 
Apologies for getting to this late..... here's one of my memories, this I took on the morning of Thanksgiving 2011 at Vince and Toni's lovely place in rural North Carolina. That's Gypsy in the middle, a wonderful dog who went to be with God a few years later. There's a funny story from that day but I'll leave that for Toni to tell if she desires. Needless to say it always puts a smile on my face.

God bless all
