yeah mantop fella
i really dont rate how man kind exploite other men for profit and deceit and control.
anyway thats me...
i knew Vincent on and off,butmore than enough, in weird places like emmaus' or on the street or on dinner missions to the big issue and wendys cooking.
Vince ws a top top bloke, end of story. He was te kind of bloke that could help the world if he ever got a break, rather than these tosspots who are born with a break.
Vince top top geezer.. brilliant heart, simple as.
top top fella, cya man x
My cousin Vinnie
I am also Vinnie's cousin....we were christened together, with our other cousin Steve. I also remember staying with Vinnie at the pub, but I remember going down to a little shop with him and he would buy packs and packs of Wrigleys Juicy Fruits..so I bought a load too!!??!!
Big regrets that we could not help Vinnie, I bet is mum is giving him a big rollocking where ever they are.
We miss him and he was very much loved by his family....just very sorry we could not have done more to help.
A big thank you to the friends that we don't know who helped Vinnie over the past few years, it is nice to know that people cared for him. Thanks, x
The last time I saw Vinnie was at his Mum's funeral in 2001. He unfortunately was not in a good way with the drugs, we all tried to persuade him to sort himself out but he would always disappear and refused to be helped. Vinny was my cousin (still is I suppose). When we were young his parents ran a pub and I often stayed over. We would sneak down to the bar and get bags of crisps, our favourite song on the Jukebox was 'Come on Eileen'we used to dance like crazy to it. On the day of his funeral I heard that song on the radio I am pretty sure it was from him. Even though we had all lost contact with Vinny I did think of him often, my sister and other cousin Steve were all born days apart and this year he would of been 35 and it's just no age to die. I hope you have found peace and are enjoying being up in heaven with all our other family members RIP XX
Sunday Morning
On Sunday I woke up,came downstairs made some tea,some toast,went back up to my room,ate and drank,sat in bed reading,after having showered,Micheal another resident knocked on my door later telling me Sunday dinner was ready,i came down ate,chatted to Tania for a bit,then she sat down and watched Telly,Michael came back down and said to her silently'Tania I don't want to be alarmist,but Vinny,is laying on his floor!'(Micheal could see from his room,into Vinny's by craning his neck to look down into his smaller side window),Tania went back upstairs and let her self into Vinny's room using her masterkey,she came back down stairs and asked me to call an ambulance(Tanias' Bolivian and her English though good isn't that good(something she acknowledges)),I went into the office down in the basement and called 999,spoke to a lady on the phone asking me if it was possibel to take the phone to Vinny and see how he was,I pointed out I was on landline,and got her to call back on the volunteers emergency phone,which she did,i then went upto Vinnys room,he was lying on the floor,silent still,the lady asked if he was breathing, i took of my glasses and put it in front of his mouth and nose as I couldn't find a mirror,nothing,she then asked if I could move him on his back,I touched his shoulder so as to do so,that told me what I thought,he was so cold and stiff,dead weight,I started to panic a little I confess and pleaded with the lady on the phone to get an ambulance there quick,along with the police..
Two ambulances arrived in short order,I flagged the first down,the two crew came in,up the stairs with all their gear,they had no use for it,the second one turned up,shortly before the first police car,Emma the manager of this house then arrived whilst we were all stood outside,shocked,Tania particularly so,she chatted to us for a bit,then went inside with the Police,they along with her stayed for a bit,took a few things from Vinnys room,waited around for the private ambulance to show,then left shortly after it did with Vinnys body..
I couldn't really think of a decent way to write this,so I thought I'd make it factual.
Only thing is when i think I watched them carry his body down the front steps,when only 24 hours earlier i had seen him walk up them,when I was talking to the ambulance lady and I gave her Vinnys date of birth,finding out he was younger than me,when I think Micheal had done beef,of which Vinny liked with mustard and plenty of gravy and whilst we had been helping ourselves to dinner he was lying on his floor in the room above..I didn't know him that well if at all,nonetheless you live in a place with someone for 5 months almost,it does effect you,it still hasn't really registered,I keep thinking his just gone away for a bit,as really you don't expect someone younger than yourself to die so suddenly and without warning,admittedly he wasn't feeling to well the day previously..still this just isn't the kind of thing you even think of happening..
Beyond the factual lies the actual.
This Sunday it's my turn to cook,back to some sense of normalcy,i think I'll do chicken,with parsnips,roast potatoes and sprouts,aslo stuffing and yorkshire puddings,along with my onion,mushroom and bacon gravy,makes me think about I wonder if Vinny ever thought that far ahead as to week-ends?,what to with your tommorow?...odd thing is,now I have.
So also I spare a thought for Vinny,as i have to walk by his old room,to get to mine...I only wish and pray that he left it in some peace,i really do..
im so sorry 4 your loss my brother has a bad addiction and it hurts me so much hes good hearted my family dont have owt 2 do with him only me i love him with my heart but one day some one is gona knock on my door and i dont no what i do god bless to all and i hope vincent is at peace
