I know you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead but this story has been a long time coming Vince was married to my sister for 25 years, he was very easy going very likeable man we loved him for years and then we found out the truth about him there really are wolves in sheep's clothing he is a predator of young girls he molested my daughter and was sentenced to prison for 3 to 15 years only served 3 he had the same MO on some of his other nieces which never was proved but in my heart I know he molested them also I lost a sister and I lost watching my nephews and nieces grow up all because of this man so do all of you out there who think and thought he was such a wonderful man no he wasn't I'm sure he's burning in hell right now and that's what he deserves he has scarred my child for life something I cannot forgive him for
