Wow, I took couldn't believe my eyes when I read the news. You will be missed, Vincent! At 24, it's hard to associate death with people our age, so it truly is shocking. Condolences to BuddyPass and his family.

I'm very shocked as well, I can't believe that he's gone. 
Vincent was a good friend of mine. I'll remember the times at the Continental Meets and the Freddies this past weekend. He made my girlfriend felt welcome among a bunch of strangers last weekend. He will be missed by my girlfriend Alicia and I. Thanks for the great times Vincent!

What a horrible thing to happen to someone so young. I posted a joke on the DO thread about vincom, and I was wondering why a sly reply was not entered 30 seconds after my post.
I had the chance to meet vincom for a few minutes after I got knocked out of the poker game at the January '06 DO, and I was looking forward to talking with him in Newark in June.
So long, vinny.

Condolences to BuddyPass, and to Vincent's family and friends. He will be missed and mourned by all those - including FT - whose lives he touched and enriched.

As Adam said, he was a very warm and inviting person and helped make me feel right at home last week.

Perhaps his family would want to come by and meet his FlyerTalk friends that have so much in common with his passion for airlines.

I met Vincent at the first CO DO and thought he was a very bright young man. He will be missed.

Thank you very much for cross-posting this. I was too afraid to post it here since I didn't know what forum would allow me to leave this information. Didn't want the people who adhere to the rules to remove my post. I will post all the service information as the arrangements are finalized.
the services will be in NJ.

hasn't been done. I'm helping his mom through the process, as I'm a funeral director.
Once it's all taken care of, all of you will be informed.

Very, very sad. I briefly met Vincent at both CO events, and coupled with the fact that there was hardly a thread without his presence, I'm sure I am not alone in saying Flyertalk, and especially the CO forum will feel alot different now.
I am about to say what noone else here has quite yet done, and I am sorry if it comes across as disrespectful. It is human nature to want to know why and how. I hope when and if it becomes appropriate, we can learn more details of this tragic event.
RIP

Only the other week, Caleb, Vincent and I were hanging out together in PHX.
This is too surreal.
My thoughts are with you, Caleb, and Vincent's family and friends. If I can help you with anything here in town, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks for posting.

Gotta love the hookah bar. Thank you very much for coming that night to spend time. There was a reason I begged you to come, even though it was "all the way in tempe"

Very sad to hear this (still unbelievable) news.
Although I'm new to FT (as poster), I enjoyed his posts for long time and was wondering his whereabout in past few days.
I'll forever regret the lost opportuniy of saying "Hmmm....so, you're Vincom!"
My thoughts and prayers to BuddyPass and vincom's family/friends.
RIP, vincom.
