Vincent was very kind hearted and often went out of his way to help those in need.
My heartfelt sympathies to Conrad, Sonia, Alex, Alyssa, Annie and her family, Lena and Paul.
I know Vincent will be greatly missed but he will be reunited once again with Maralene.

To Conrad and Sonia,
Deepest sympathies on the loss of your father. I was sorry to hear of his passing. He was a soft spoken man, always pleasant and smiling. I know this is a very sad and difficult time for both of you, but take comfort in all the beautiful memories.
What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose…
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Vincent, held a special place in our hearts. Both Maralene and Vincent were the kindest and most generous people we knew. They were so kind to our parents Stan and Mercia and will always be remembered. May God grant him Peace and Eternal Rest and may he give you and Sonia the strength to carry on.

Vincent (Vincenzo) I hope you receive this message from me. I am grateful to you for such wonderful memories of our time together. We had so much fun travelling You never missed a single detail. I remember when we went to Rome we threw Pennies in the wrong fountain. We had a good laugh when we found out. Thank you for your generosity, not only to me, but to all those who crossed your path. You loved life. You will forever hold a place in my heart. Sonia, Conrad, Alyssa and Alex my deepest condolences. Vince loved you all so much. To the rest of the Collaco family and extended my deepest condolences.
