To the family and friends of Vincent Roberti, especially Kathy, Donna, Renee, Maribeth and Grandchildren.

This man had no equal, he was a person that got along with everyone. He was kind, compassionate and generous, and loved by all. He always conducted himfelf in a very professional, and pleasant way. From what I've heard, the people at MPC considered him a friend as well as an employer.

I called him "Vinnie", as did my sister Mary, he was and always be my Brother-In-Law. During our phone conversations, he frequently talked about Mary, I know he missed her very much. I also know that he has found, long awaited peace in finally being reunited with her again, and this time, for eternity.

Unfortunately, being many miles apart, we didn't see very much of each other. Our phone conversations were few and far between. As often seems to be the case, when one of our loved ones passes on, there is much I would have liked to tell him, about my feeling toward him.

"Vinnie, God bless you, and may you rest in peace in Heaven, with your wife, and my sister, Mary".

With love and deepest sympathy,

David Nemchick, on behalf of my wife Lillian and family

To All Of The Roberti Family,
25 years ago I walked through the doors of MPC for the first time. Starting my first "real job", I could not have found a better place to work for. Vince introduced me to my wife of 21 years with whom I've had two wonderful children.
Vince always treated myself and all other MPCer's with the respect you would give a family member. It's impossible to put into words the positive effect that Vince and the entire Roberti family have had on my life. God Bless and Thank You I'll remember you all of my days.

To Kathy, Donna, Maribeth, Renee, and your familes: We are thinking of you now. May God be with you in this time of sorrow and grief. I still can remember the "good old days" we had in Stratford when we were all little. Where has the time gone? Vinnie was a good man and we all had some good memories together. God bless you all. Love from Suzanne, Eddie, Diana, and Lauren.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Roberti family.

I have been associated with the Roberti's since 1973, when my then wife, started working for MPC. I then had the good fortune to start working for MPC in 1984, and now have 22 years with the company.

MPC Products is what it is today based on three pieces, Vince Roberti, Joe Roberti and it's dedicated employees. Even though one third of the heart of MPC is no longer physically with us, the remaining two thirds will still be under the influence of Vince. I am confident that he knows that we will continue what he helped to create.

Sincerely, Joe Marino
