Thank you to the Duluth and Virginia Essentia Health doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who cared for Vince and to the St. Mary's ICU team who stood beside him in our place in his final hours and held a phone to his ear so his wife and children could say goodbye.
Words cannot adequately convey how deeply Vince will be missed by those close to him. He was a good-natured, gentle man, truly his father’s son, and our hearts break over this loss. Please, wear a mask.
We look forward to having an in-person celebration of Vince's life when it is safe to do so.
