Branning and her strength! I also remember listening to her on Sunday afternoons as the Chicago Bears played, yelling at the players on the TV. She stood over us and said, “Mark, I am not a taxi service for your friends!” lol! After that I had a great appreciation for Mrs. ![]() ![]() Finally it got to be about 8pm and Mark asked his mom if she could drive me home. It was a Friday night and we were wrapped up in video games. My fondest memory is when I took the bus home with Mark. I’ll never forget our hours-long conversations of our political standpoints while Mark waited patiently for us to stop butting heads. Vince was our Son-in-Law who was loved as a Son & will forever be missed & remembered! Will never forget all the hunts that Vince graciously invited us, Dominic & Jimmy as well as our friends & family, to enjoy the feel of nature Millbrook Hunt Club, Our adventures included White Sox Spring Training Camps in AZ, Mecum Auto Auctions, Lake Geneva & South Haven Weekend Adventures. This was usually followed by flying across the countryside on his Quads & great chats in the barn about our yard projects for the coming week. Our nice weather activity was mowing on either Saturday or Sunday.Vince on his zero radius mowing & me on the tractor, we referred ourselves as the Mowing Swat Team. ![]() It was common to go out to Dinner with Vince & Tristen (driving in Vince's "Big Ass Truck" as Tristen described it) a couple times a week and then, going to their home on Sunday to cook out, usually regardless of the weather. We were indeed fortunate to have Vince in our Life & Family. ![]()
