VERY Sad news regarding vincom
I just saw this thread in community about vincom passing away suddenly and felt it important to post a link here in the CO forum.

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

Oh my gosh!!
Edited to add thoughts other than mere shock:
This is very sad indeed. I dont have to tell you that he was perhaps the most active member on this board, and often had a great deal of insight to offer.

At a loss for words------
Like a family member, is just gone-- poof
He, his humor, his Love for CO, and his 2700 post/day will be missed.
Thoughts and prayers to his family

Wow, that's terrible. I can't believe he died at such a young age (and I had no idea from his posts that he was only 21).

So sad.
He was such a nice guy, clever and funny. We will miss him.

This is really sad. He was way too young to pass on. I never met him in-person. However, I enjoyed his banter on these boards and he clearly had many friends who cared for and about him.
He will be missed. Given his clear love CO, I think the airline should do something like put a plaque in his memory in a PC at EWR or somwhere else in the CO system. Of course, we FT's would chip in to make it happen.

I am shocked and saddened. He was a fun and crazy guy. This forum and any subsequent DO's will never be the same.

I may have not personally known him but I have read his many informative and witty posts and feel like I know him. He will be missed by many more people that he never knew.

Wow, sad news indeed. I enjoyed meeting him in January at the Continental Do.
