I am so deeply saddened to hear about Vinnie. I worked with him at Ericsson from 1997 until he went to TDK where I later joined him until 2003. Vinnie and I shared jokes about our polish heritage, Brooklyn roots and he cracked me up constantly. He acted like a second dad to me always giving me advice during my younger years and when I was getting married 17 years ago today. I tell the story about his dog named DOG all the time and giggle when people still don't get it. I knew his first wife Maryann and always ran into her shopping around town when they moved to Westbury and I would go back to work and tell him he'd have to work overtime! Vinnie was so proud when his grandchildren were born and joked about buying them boxing gloves. My heart is broken for his wife Barbara and his children and grandchildren. I am blessed to have known him. RIP to one of the funniest and caring people I have ever met.
