many other family members whom he loved. Vincent had a strong sense of 
responsibility and enjoyed working creatively. He worked hard all his life to 
provide for his family. He shared his many artistic and creative talents with 
friends and strangers alike. For him work was play and he enjoyed his work. He 
was generous with his time and skills and always took time to help others in 
need. Vincent served his county during World War II as a mechanic. After 
returning home, he and his family moved to Bakersfield where he owned and 
operated General Auto Works. Vincent was a devout Catholic and his faith 
served him well. The family thanks Hoffmann Hospice and others who helped to 
make his transition peaceful and comfortable. He was loved by all that knew 
him and he will be greatly missed. For additional service or floral delivery
