He married Brenda Shaffer on June 6, 1981.  They later divorced, and developed a loving and supportive friendship that grew to include both their families.  He married Marjorie Titterington on July 10, 1999 in Rock Island, and quickly became a much-loved part of her family as well.

Vince worked in the IT department for Midland Information Resources, retiring in 2016.

He loved doing technical support for many relatives and friends, and was always interested in the latest technology.  He took great pride in his yard and the flowers he loved (he especially loved ornamental peppers) and enjoyed music, photography, creating videos, and glass art. HIs most favorite stories involved his lifelong friends and their adventures.
