Kind of young to have prostrate cancer don’t you think?

Yes, I’m sorry he suffered so much at the end. One of the few celebs I’d like to have met.

What a fascinating guy. What I wouldn’t have given to spend an hour talking with him.

Great life well lived - just way way too short.

God bless you sir.

Had a good friend in his early forties die from prostate cancer about 10 years ago. It was very aggressive. He didn't last a year.

He wrote “Term Limits” despite dyslexia and being rejected by many publishers.

Was it caught late? I’ve never heard of someone this young dead of prostate cancer.

Caught early, but when you get it this young, he said it tends to be a more aggresive cancer.

I was hoping Vince would live to see Mitch come to life on the big screen, thought Joe Manganiello would be a good choice.

You will be missed Vince! RIP. :(

RIP, VInce. You were a patriot, and a heck of an Author. Loved all of your books.

May God rest your soul, and may He especially comfort the hearts and minds of your dear wife and children, and all of you family and friends.

Bravo Zulu my friend.

Good man and good author.

I recommend “Term Limits”. We need that kind of Term Limits today.

Can’t remember but most doctors, PSA testing doesn’t start until age 50.
