Some of you will remember that Vince's nickname was "Hawk". Hawk was a good friend to all that entered his life. We drifted apart when I went to college and he joined the military, but did try to stay in touch. The details of his death are not as important as what a great guy he was. I still miss him.
Vince and I were friends because our fathers were friends. The dads were on a bowling team, and Vince and I bowled together a couple of times. In ninth grade he and I played a lot of tennis, while little league game noise was in the background. We chased after Patti Gifford until they turned off the lights at ten. Billy Joel was right, "Only the good die young" . I'm glad to have had the privledge of knowing Vince, "Hawk" Martin.
Vince- Always a smile and a quiet word, you were remembered by all at our table at reunion and are still missed by all who had the fortune to have known you.
