  2. My father was beloved by all, even referred to as ”St. Vincent” by some. He was a highly intelligent, degreed civil engineer. HE was generous, loving and kind. HE was a good shepherd and did his best to raise his children with morales and high standards. He will live in our hearts and be dearly missed. – one of his grateful daughters

  5. I didn’t know your father only met him through my relationship with Carla and viewing photos of him as the years have passed. His soul resonated through those photos onto me and I felt peace which I saw in his face.
    No doubt he was a wonderful very special man and was graced with a wonderful large family.
    May he be resting peacefully, and watch over all of you.
    Sorry for your loss, to everyone, your friend, Cherry

  15. Vincent Robert Suppicich
    was an admirable man.
    My Dad.
    He taught me the right way to look at things when life threw curveballs.
    My dad taught me about our teacher Jesus, and how we should always be forgiving, and loving like he was. To live by what he taught -to love God, and treat others the way you would like to be treated. To love our neighbors, even those we disagreed with, *even our enemies!
    My dad taught me to be sensible, and to always do my best to be helpful.
    He taught me, by always showing me, love.
    He taught me what it was to be a good man.
    He taught me what it was to be kind.
    He was my hero .

  25. I will always remember how kind he was to me. Fondest memories of the many summers at the Supps home swimming; the family dinners and all the love that surrounded the family table. Learned from his strong parental instincts during family discussions and growing pains we all had together . Always felt like family there. I was glad I did get to tell him that at the last family gathering at Chucks wedding. RIP dear Sir.
