I'm sorry to share this news about Vincom
It brings me extreme sadness to put up this post. I have known Vincent for over 5 years now. Since we lived in NJ. Before I moved to Arizona.
Vincom and I went to Miami this weekend as many of you know. During our trip, he fell ill. He had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night on Tuesday, May 2, 2006. His condition was not the best, and eventually led to him passing away at the age of 21. I know he has shared so much of his time, thoughts, and feelings with all of you. You were as much his family as his blood family and his dear friends. I only felt that you all should know why you won't be seeing any new posts from him. I will be flying back to NJ this week to go spend time with his family and attend his services. If any of you feel the need to send any cards or letters to his family, I can give you the information you'll need to do that.
Vincom's partner in crime,

I've met him online quite a bit but only met him once in person (IAH CO Do II)....he was always a great member of our community and without him it'll be a little smaller now
RIP Vincom

It's about a very close friend of mine who was a big poster on here and enjoyed his flyertalk life more than most things in his life. So, if you could just be a little more respectful...
thank you for your consideration.

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I am Adam's (JayLenoFan86) girlfriend.
I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Vincent this past weekend at the Freddie Awards. I instantly liked him and am shocked to hear of his passing. He helped make me feel very comfortable in a room full of strangers. I know he will be sorely missed in this community and by his family and friends.
I am very sorry to hear this news.

He had such a GREAT time at the Freddies. He brought home this little shoe polish kit and a fleece blanket. We talked about the weekend about how much he enjoyed meeting everybody. He liked being infamous...when everybody would come up to him and say..... "Hmmm....so, you're Vincom!"

yeahthat shoe polish smelled funny
we had fun! He was a very funny guy! (especially the part where he told the Jet Blue guy that he doesnt like Jet Blue)
I feel lucky to have known him, even for the short amount of time!

Vincent was truly an amazing guy. He was so incredibly generous. At the last CO DO in Houston he was buying drinks for everyone. It wasn't just one drink - it was as many as you could drink. "Want another?" It was not just for me -- it was for everyone in the room. He enjoyed being friendly and being kind to others. He was a great guy. What more can I say? I'm still in shock.

Wow. I can't believe this. I just met Vincent at the Freddies last weekend after seeing his posts for forever. He was a great guy, and I am very very sad to hear this news. Rest peacefully, Vincent.
