I was surprised and very sad to hear that my brother-in-law, Vicente Gorre passed away Christmas Eve in the Philippines after a long illness.

He was a wonderful person who would go out of his way to help anyone he could. He was incredibly hard working and yet always had time for anyone who needed him. They say that only the good die young. That’s certainly true in his case. I’ll miss him.

This picture was taken in happier times (July 2015). He’s standing next to a replica Parrott gun on the waterfront in Cold Spring, NY.
