I’m needing to dictate as I’m in tremendous pain waiting for a surgery, but had to say a few things about my brother Vince. Please forgive any poor grammar in advance.
I’ve known Vince for the better part of 15 or so years having served with him since the launch of Calvary Boca Raton Worship Ministry. Vince and I had a special connection as the rhythm section, and drums, but had also a unique spiritual connection that we felt the transparency to share each other’s burdens over the years to pray for each other and to call each other with encouraging words from time to time. Vince and I also had similar testimonies and a unique connection there, in what the Lord had done in both of our lives. In my time speaking with Vince he was a man who had a deep love for the Lord, a strong command of his word, and always seemed to have a spirit led word of wisdom, or knowledge into my specific scenario. As we would discuss matters I was always inspired by his memory of scripture which would inspire me to do the same, and we would share versus with each other over the years. Sometimes I would remind him of one, more often he would remind me of verses that we had discussed and found comfort in. I also saw and admired Vince’s care for his mom over the years. We would often joke about how he really owed her for the hard time he caused her as young man, but it really was inspiring to see how he cared for his mom, especially in the last year‘s where her needs were constant. I had the privilege to be able to be with Vince and Mrs. Greene during her last days and it was a joy to see him singing over her as she slipped into the kingdom in her last hours. He really did love his mom and was so loyal to her and I am sure that they are just absolutely rejoicing to see each other, and more importantly to see their savior Jesus. I really do have so much more to say about who Vince he was, a great man of character, not perfect but 100% sold out for Jesus , and longing to see his face. One last thing I will actually say that I really found special in our relationship is that even though Vince and I didn’t see things 100% the same politically, that didn’t stand in the way for a second of our relationship, the bond that we had in Christ was so strong that , the secondary topics meant nothing, and I always felt it was a great example of how the body of Christ should function. I would respect his perspectives, and he would hear me out, but we would quickly turn the conversation back to Jesus and find our common ground in the love for one another as brothers in Christ
I will deeply miss my brother, Vince, making joyful music with him in the sanctuary and laughing and joking in between the Services. But I really can’t wait until we are reunited soon and very soon in the kingdom of heaven, where we can praise the Lord forever, where there is no sickness no dying, no sorrow no pain. Hallelujah see you soon. Brother Vince!
