History Vincenzo was born in #### on November 21, 1918. His father served with the 8th Infantry Regiment in the Army along the Texas border from 1912 to 1916. He got out before the US was involved in the War in Europe. He did however see fighting with the Mexicans across the Rio Grande and it had an adverse effect on him. Vincenzo's father, Giuseppe was an abusive drunken gambler. He played with whores and came and went as he pleased. Giuseppe never married Vincenzo's mother who was one of his "girls". Giuseppe abused Vinnie's mother, Dolores and left her sometime after Vinnie turned five. Vinnie does not have many memories of his father, but feels overly protective of his mother. Life was rough for Young Vincenzo, growing up on the streets. He did his own thing and was frequently involved in fighting. The boys in his neighborhood gambled frequently and got into fight with the Irish boys in a nearby neighborhood frequently. An uncle took Vinnie under his wing and who had served in WWI as a Combat Engineer. Vinnie became fascinated with Uncle Johnny's Field Manuals on explosives. He learned a great deal about them and would later apply that knowledge to the craft. He also took to shooting an early age. Being able to hit targets accurately became very natural to him. Today, Vinnie likes to gamble on fights, frequents the track and can be found in a local card game or crap game at least three nights a week.
