Dear Bridget and Family, may God Bless and be with you in a special way at this time. I’m sorry I could not offer condolences in person as Christy and I were out of town and just leaned of Vince’s passing. Vince was a fine gentleman and never failed to speak and offer a smile. I will certainly be offering prayers that our Lord will give you strength and peace.

Ted,,,....really sorry to hear of Vince's passing. Always enjoyed talking to Vince when he golfed at the Country Club. Reminiscing about us growing up on Morton Avenue and playing ball brought back lots of memories. Sincere condolences to the entire Scarbin family and Vince's many friends.

So sorry to hear about Vince. While I didn't know Vince when I was younger, I always thought it was "neat" to get know as friends the older guys like Vince whose names I read about in the sports page as a I grew up. Sadly , too many of them are now disappearing . I'd make a list, but fear I'd leave a couple important ones out. My thoughts and sympathy go out to all of Vince's family and many friends.
