Remembering Uncle Vinny

[Teebone]

Hi everyone this is Toni

We lost Uncle Vinny 2 years ago today.

If any of you still have the 2 1/2" key chain flashlight that we brought
to Knotts 2015 for the 13th year get-together, please shine
the light at 6:22 tonight. I'm sure he will smile back at you

How he loved and looked forward to the Knotts gathering
each year. The only yearly trip he made !

I miss him dearly
Toni

I was pulling a fence post straight yesterday with the come-along strapped to a palm tree and remembered, with a bit of a smile, that come-along was the solution Vince and I came up with to get the T-bird dragged into the garage in North Carolina with the frozen rear brakes. After, Vince said take it with you so I put it in my checked bag and it flew back to California. Amazing that was over a decade ago, how time flies.

Hope it's OK to share this picture I took at the bash in 2013. I always say people live on in the memories of those who loved them. Or, as Vince would say, bla, bla, bla Yeah buddy, we miss you.

We'll be shining a light up.

I will always remember how Vinny hated to go to lunch at Portillos...but he went.

Sharing pics....

I remember him and John daily. Always something to remind me of him.

Every time I go to a local event like cars and coffee, I seem to be the Uncle.

Such a good example to follow, big she's to fill. I don't have the light anymore but will go out and shine one anyway!

Love you Toni, I do hope all is well.

Toni:

I think about you and Vinny often. After reading your post, I rummaged around and I found my flashlight from 2015.

Wishing you the best. Fondly, Jeff
