Amy and I are so saddened by the loss of Lou.  Looking through the photos of his life and cherished family moments, we can’t help but feel he was a truly blessed man.  As customers of the yard, we appreciate seeing and sharing with Mike, Jen, Mary and Steve.  Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with them in this transitional time.  Lou will surely be missed. 

We were deeply saddened to learn of Lou's passing.  We have many fond memories of his Seminole Band Booster leadership.  May the comfort of God's nearness and the healing power of prayer help make this time of sadness easier.  Our deepest sympathy to Lou's wonderful family.  Mike & Karen Silvernail

We, the students on the Eckerd College Search and Rescue team, are thankful to Mr. Vinci for his support over the years. Many of our rescue boats have come through his support of our team. Due to his generosity we have been able to help the Tampa Bay boating community, making Mr. Vinci an important contributor to our program and the community as well. We will always be thankful for the immense support Mr. Vinci has given us and we are wishing his family well during this difficult time. 

Mary, Jenn and the rest of the family and crew at Indian Springs Marina, I send you guys my deepest sympathies.  I am going to miss bringing Lou all the donuts and pastries each day of the boat show out at the Fair Grounds.  That show will never be the same for me now.  
Here's wishing you all peace and comfort during this time.  

We send our thoughts and prayers to the Vinci family. 

Through his family business, the Indian Springs Marina, Mr. Vinci has given many years of support to the Eckerd College Search and Rescue Team and Waterfront Program through discounted prices of new rescue vessels and sponsorships of our annual fishing tournament fundraiser. His efforts have substantially contributed to our ability to maintain a fleet of safe and reliable boats used in our community service program. The support of Mr. Vinci and his family is valued and sincerely appreciated.

Jenn and I are very honored to have known Lou and we extended our deepest sympathy to Mary, Steve, Jenn, Mike and the entire Vinci family.

Tom and I are so very sorry for your loss. We only got to speak to him once when we bought our boat but he sure raised a nice family and Mary, Jennifer and Michael were a pleasure to do business with.

My deepest heart felt condolences to Mary and the entire family. As a friend who worked with Lou for the many years when he was an active building Contractor the news of his passing leaves me stunned. He was such an honest, hardworking and genuine person. Lou certainly left a legacy that highlighted his business acumen as well as his kind heart, I will miss him.



Lou  was such an enormous part of our family’s lives. He was a coach of Samantha, our daughter, in soccer with the pink ladies. We traveled the state and had such fun. Lou was not just a coach he was a mentor in so many ways to the ladies. Stern but soft voice. A real teacher. For many years we were close to the Vincy family and watched their children grow as ours did. Such a loss. Our hearts our souls and prayers go out to Lou, ‘Mary and all of the family. Roger and Melinda Larson

Lou Vinci is gone yet not forgotten.  I so enjoyed Lous’ stories and his laughter.   He is admired for his energy and joie de vivre.  

My deepest condolences to all of the family.

Mary, Jenn, Michael, Steve, and entire family. Our sincere thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. 

We will miss seeing Lou and Mary in the golf cart around the area during the holidays.

 Kind regards, Ron, Stella and Erik Hastings


Lou was a friend and represented both our Chaparral and Robalo brands at Indian Springs Marina.  Lou was hard working,  intelligent and a very interesting and colorful personality.  He loved boating and after other successful careers settled on his passion for the water.  He loved his wife Mary and his family and enjoyed working with many of them at the family boat dealership and marina.  Lou will be missed.  His family will carry on the great legacy left by Lou.  Rest In Peace Lou!  
Ann Baldree, Senior Vice President, Chaparral and Robalo Boats

I've worked with Lou for over 20 years and he will truly be missed. Thank you for the fond memories of working the boat shows, your work partnership, visiting your dealership and even becoming a recent boat owner/member.  Lou always made me feel like part of the family and our deepest condolences to the Vinci's.
