Our condolences to Hazel and family for the passing of Vince. I am very saddened of this news. Vince and I had many laughs , working on productions over the years. He always shared his stories of the farm in Jamaica.
To all Vince's family and friends , God bless

My deepest condolences to all of Vince's family. I am out of town and I am sadly not able to attend services. Vince was a fine man and upstanding union brother.

I used to work a lot of ''stand-by painter'' on the shooting crews, and worked often with Vince. I used to hang around the grip's and electric's and Vince was always a comforting presence, that always made our crew feel like it was a family business. He was what we called '' a class act'' for he shone brightly especially on those long midnights shooting out in some God-forsaken location..often....in winter. My condolences for his passing.
