His friends would say that he approached life with the seriousness and practicality of his engineering training. His family would say it only added to his unique sense of humor. He was also an accomplished musician, playing saxophone for the band The Castaways alongside his beloved wife of 43 years Marlene (Matalski) Dimsa, who played the accordion.

Vernon Cemetery, Elizabeth Twp.. Memorial contributions in Vince's name should be made to the White Oak Animal Safe Haven, 2295 Lincoln Way, White Oak, PA 15131. His love of music gives us comfort through his favorite song "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young: "But there's a full moon risin' / Let's go dancin' in the light / We know where the music's playin' /Let's go out and feel the night." www.bekavacfuneralhome.com
