Vinnie enjoyed playing pool and was on the Lewis County Billiard League since the late 70's. He was Vice President of the league for many years. He also enjoyed the demolition derby and was part of the original "Watson Boys" team in the late 70's early 80's. He participated in motocross racing in his early years and was a longtime member of the #4 fish and game club. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, whether it be painting derby cars at the last minute or spending the day boating, water skiing and swimming down at Beaver Lake. He loved spending time
with his grandchildren more than anything. He will be missed by many.
