Godspeed my brother.

My family's prayers go out to Holly, his daughter, family and friends. I am very sorry for your loss. We can only pray that God watches over each and every one of you and helps you in your time of need. The world lost and good man and a great friend.
Vinny will always be remembered.

my prayers also go out to him and his family. Always made it a point to talk to him everytime i saw him. I really dont know what else to say but we lost a very good man....

i send my thoughts and prayers

I have been in shock all evening and still don't know what to say. Holly you will be in my prayers.:(

gone but not forgottin r.i.p vinny

My condolences to the Changet family.

The community has lost a true friend to all. Vinny has been bringing the Mustang community together for years and he will be missed.

To all his family and friends, I feel for your loss.

I think that I can speak for all of us here and say that if ANYTHING IS NEEDED just let us know.

Rest in peace Vinny, love you man.:angel:

I only talked to him a handful of times, but I could tell he was a class act all the way. A great guy that will be missed by many. My condolences go to his family through this tough time.

why him, such a great guy ...


speechless dont even describe what i feel right now ....

R.I.P. buddy

I didn't hesitate to read every single response. I just started coming here but after reading everbodies input I have come to this realization. Vin was a great guy who cared about friends,family and Stangbangerz(maybe even a mavericker or two). My condolences to friends and Family. God Speed fellow Hotrodder and may you always have as much Horsepower as you want at God's Drag Strip.

P.S I'm pretty tough but after reading how much this guy was loved I am in tears.........:(

I cant think of any words right now that could come close to describing how I feel right now. I am in complete shock and cannot believe this has happened to such a great person. Vinny was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet in your entire life and would go out of his way to help anyone that he could. Not only was he a great friend, but a great Dad...husband...and anything else that he put his mind to. He always found time for everything..from giving advice on here..to loaning a hand or two on another friends project..to being a loving husband and amazing dad. Vinny will forver missed...and will never be forgotten...Rest In Peace my Friend..we will meet again!!

I cannot believe this happened to such a great guy.I met vinny at columbus NMRA race in 2003 when he raced the coupe and since then everytime I saw him he treated me like a friend he had knew all his life.Like all of you we shared the same dreams and was reachung them together.I seen him the day he had his car getting dynoed at pauls and it was so nice to see his smiling face.Now he's gone.I feel so sick.I just went through this last week loosing another friend at such a young age.
My thoughts and prayers are with holly and his daughter and entire family.This is such a huge loss too so many.

RIP Vinny Until we meet again at the dragstrip up above.

:(
vinny was a great guy and friend. this is very sad.
i haven't seen him in a few years but i will always miss him.
my condolences to everyone

As soon as i got home I started reading all the posts about Vinny from the beginning.

I was at work when Scott (Moontang) called me to the service counter with the news, I couldnt believe it, its still hard to take in.

On the way home i thought of soooo many great things to say, but it doesnt matter at all, the one thing that does matter is that Vinny will be missed and we ALL loved him, and this board will never ever be the same again without him.

i guess He went to spool the big turbo in the sky

My condolences to Holly and Amanda

I have only been on the board for a lil over 2 years, I feel lucky to have known Vinny through his words for these 2 years, and in person several times since the start of the Wednesday nite Cruises, He was a very smart and great guy, always nice, always funny. I only regret that i hadnt gotten to know him better.

I hope that BOTH of his 'stangs can be finished and displayed proudly

And I hope that both Holly and Amanda and the rest of Vin's family have the strength to get thru this devastating time.

I haven't been on the board in a few days so when I got a call from Bryan Byrd about this post on stangbangerz I couldn't believe it. I felt like I was kicked in the stomach and still do.

My condolences go out to Vinny's family. He will be missed by all who had the opportunity to know him. Life is precious, take nothing for granted.

Holly a donation is on its way.

Godspeed my friend ... Godspeed

--Bill

sorry to hear that the fam is in our prayers

all i can say is this is so shocking, he definetely was a class act and him creating this site was like a door opening to a whole new world for me and so many others. I looked so forward for this season to see that car of his finally done and making some passes.

all i can say is for his family and close friends i am deeply sorry for your loss.

I will always know thats one guy I will see on the other side

vinny I Salute yah

Nate

transman called me at work and told me about this post. I was floored. My prayers are with Holly and Amanda and the rest of Vinny's family.

:angel: :angel: speech less , hate to loose a friend i really did'nt get a chance to truley find out what he was like...:angel:

R.I.P Vinny.......:angel: our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We were all blessed to have a friend like Vinny.
I thank God for the time i shared with him and for his friendship.
May his legend live on.
May God be with Holly and Amanda.
Vinny, we love you, we miss you
Rest in peace brother

I have no idea what to put here. Vinny was an insperation to all of us. He gave his time without want for his own, he started this site and has maintained it so well, He has a bad ass car which I would like to see run at least once, since I pushed it to get painted.
Vinny was Stangbangerz. I have a soft spot in my heart for him. Now that he is gone, I hope and pray that he is looking down at us from heaven making sure that all of this stuff with Mustangs goes well.

Holly and Amanda, I know nothing I can say will ease your pain. Vinny was a wonderful person and without him and this website, I wouldn't have the one true love of my life. He will be missed by many, especially the two of you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out, now or in the future.

I am at a loss for words. Vinny was a great guy and one of the most welcoming of people. There is nothing to say to ease this pain for any of us, he will be missed. R.I.P Vinny

I am in total shock. When my friend told me about this i thought he was talking about someone else. I never imagined it could be Vinny. Its been awhile since i have talked to him but i have known Vinny & Holly for a few years ever since my first NMRA race. My condolences to Holly, Amanda and the Changet family. :(

R.I.P. Vinny

Condolences to everyone who lived and knew him. I never had the chance to meet Vinny and my only contact was with him through a site issue. But he seemed like a great guy who will undoubtedly be missed.

That's just terrible. I met Vinny at the dyno day at Cincy Speed in summer of 03. Great guy, ran the show with a smile even in 100+ deg temps. He will be missed. Hopefully this site will always be one of his legacies.

E-mail from my Granddaughter Ellen, some of you know her, Holly, Vinny and Amanda touched many lives
Hey,
When you find out when the funeral is going to be please let me know. I have to go, and if you get a chance tell holly how sorry i am and that if there’s anything i can do for her to let me know. I'm still in complete and udder shock, it's like i can't let myself believe that this has happened. I didn't really get much sleep last night, so hopefully tonight it will settle a little better so i can get some rest. i just cannot believe it. Vinny didnt deserve that, he was one of the kindest and sweetest men i knew, and when a person is so nice and understanding and loving to everyone around them it makes their passing even harder. If you want to talk or anything just let me know, but please keep me updated on everything, you reach me on my cell anytime day or night.

Thanks. love you.

Well, if theres any proof of the good man, its right here from the kind words of all you who knew Vegas. He will be missed, and lets all try to do a little something in his honor, memory, and mostly something for his Daughter, Wife, and Family.

Rest in Peace Brother....theres was none like ya, and we miss ya without measure. May God Keep You til we meet again.

My prayers go out to Holly and her family. I've been out of town and haven't been signed into the board for the last three days, this is a total shock to me.

I mite not know everything about mustangs and such, but god as my witness I will help in any way to finish that car of his and get it down the track first day!!!!

Complete shock....I cannot believe it. My thought and prayers go out to Holly and Amanda, and Vinny's family up north.

Only got to hang out with him for a couple hours while he was helping on my car a couple years back, but he didnt have to come out and help a total stranger and he did. Me and him were cuttin it up the whole time too. He was truely one of the good people in this world and will be greatly missed by many. He will live on through this site and everyones memories of him. Hope your up there bangin gears bro! RIP

One of few mustang guys I like, I'm stunded and teary eyed. Truely a great man.

RIP Brother.

I met him only once in person but he was a super cool guy. He will be missed by alot of people.

Matt

My last email from Vinny on Monday 2/5/07 ... I only met the guy one time and look how quick he was to help me with project "Red Sled" ........


Yes I could help you guys out with the bracket. I will need to get some measurements and find out exactly what it is you are trying to do. Any chance you guys could meet me at Cincy Speed one day with the car? If not, I'll just roll over to check it out.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Vinny's family and friends.:angel:

The Goodlett family
