Vince was a stellar athlete in high school and received a football scholarship to the University of North
Carolina, a place he thought was the most beautiful he had ever seen. He spent his entire working career
as a cryptologist with NSA where his job took him all over the world. His final post was at the U.S. Embassy
in Rome before retiring in July of 1986. In retirement Vince volunteered his time at Seton Parish and was
an avid golfer at Crofton Country Club. Vince was the consummate gentleman, a loyal friend, and always
there for anyone in need.
