So many memories of Uncle Vinny and The Crew!!  The craziness of Ellie & George, Connie & Andy with the six kids should have cured Uncle Vinny of a family.  Then, came Stephanie with Gabrielle and Michael to follow. How very special became our relationship.  
      Trying to select a memory of just Uncle Vinny was easy.  He taught me how to drive at 16.  I’m sure he felt it was a way to save my life.  You see, my mother was a speed demon and did not believe in the rules of the road, while my father cursed out all.   To this day, I still parallel park the way Uncle Vinny taught me. 

Dear Uncle Vinny, 
May you blessed with peace in heaven. I’m thinking not,  because The Crew is saying let’s finally rock n roll.  It’s about time. 
Xoxoxo

Sorry to see my childhood friend pass away. But this is what life is all about..
All we have now are Rememory’s
I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but Vinny and I traveled cross country many years ago.
I remember stopping in Colorado and seeing a good friend Whitey, then we went onto Las Vegas with any taught me how to gamble and then we ended up in Los Angeles and he went back home, & I went to school. A memorable trip.
May you rest in peace.

I will always have the fondest memories of Uncle Vinny. He taught me to drive a car and I still parallel park the way he taught me to.  I loved the story about my mom riding in his car. He had an extra brake on the passenger side for when he was teaching,  and she kept stepping on it while he was driving.  He had to move her to the backseat.  Stephanie,  Gabrielle and Michael, you are in my thoughts and prayers.  ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Dear Steph, Gabriel and ,Michael ,
Kevin and I are so very sorry to hear about Vinny,  our prayers are with you.  May your love and memories help you through this hard time. 
Love 
Kevin and Shirley Kee

We are so saddened to hear of Vinny’s passing.  My family had many parties back in the day and it truly wasn’t a party unless Vinny (and Stephanie) were there. He was so fun to be around and we always looked forward to seeing him and his beautiful family. Although I was very young, I remember the New Years bash he had at his restaurant I believe.  I remember my parents talking about it for years after. I hope you are dancing in heaven, Vinny, with a few “Gayateer” buddies and their wives. Rest in peace and may God bless your beautiful family in their time of mourning. 
Love,
The Demetropoulos Family
