Tom had a kind and generous heart. We enjoyed his friendship for many years on Lakeville Lake. For years, Tom organized Harley rides and picnics - keeping many old friends together. He lived in Wyoming for a number of years before coming back to Rochester in December 2014 when his heart began to fail.
Barb was always a dear friend and close companion. We grew up together as neighbors from before grade school thru high school graduation. She was sitting on our front porch the day my family moved into our new home in Rochester. I was only 4 years old, but I remember it vividly. She not only taught me how to ride a bike and tie my own shoes, but she made growing up fun. I can only imagine what her impact on others lives may have been had she lived a longer life. Sadly she was taken from us much to early in a tragic motorcycle accident not long after graduation. I still miss her to this day.

I remember Vince as being very caring, selfless & humble. He was such a good friend to Howard Carr, taking Howard from class to class and, I'm sure, much more. Going further back, to the 8th grade at West Jr. High, Vince & I were voted "the quietest". I was very saddened by his passing.
From Ruth Kaplan on August 24th, 2010
Vince had hoped to attend our 35 year reunion. He will be missed by friends and family.
