Belvoir, Virginia from 1957 to 1960. After three years
in California working for Lockheed Martin, Vince spent
the majority of his professional career at The Port

responsible for all physical structures at Newark
International Airport, where a road, Via Volpicelli, was
named in his honor. After Newark International Airport,
Vince became Executive Director of Atlantic City

of Aviation for the State of New Jersey during the first
Gulf War.
He was also an active member of the community, coaching
youth soccer, serving as Committee Chairman for Boy
Scout Troop 8 and participating in events sponsored by

performing with the Chatham Community Players and

the world and most of all family.
