Please wish a Happy Birthday to a man who led by example.

Family, duty, friendship, neighbors, hometown.

There wasn't one aspect of life that this man failed at.

Trust us, he is watching over not only every one of us but every one of you also.

Lending a smile.
Lending strength.
Proud of his friends, his family, and his legacy.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Vinnie Bottino.

Gone but always among us just the same.

Today we request you all do something kind for someone else, just as he did every day of his life.

Happiest Heavenly Birthday to our Guardian Angel,
Vinny Bottino Sr.

July 25th is Vincent Bottino Day

We share the same request as we did last year:

Today, in Vinny's memory, please quietly do one selfless and generous act for someone around you. Let a driver pull out into traffic, buy someone a coffee, hold the door for a stranger... for just one day, make the world a better place just as he did every day of his life...

Always loved, always missed, never forgotten...

Wishing you a wonderful birthday today. Forever missed by your friends, family, and the countless lives you touched with your kindness and compassion. Those of us who were lucky enough to be part of your heart wouldn't change one single thing about it. We just wish we had you longer. Thank you. Miss you. Love you. Happy Heavenly Birthday.

When historians look back on all this they will pinpoint the closing of The Big Apple as the moment when it all started to go bad... Stay safe everyone.
