Vincent was a member of Brethren In Christ Church, Carlisle and formerly attended Rice Elementary School prior to being home schooled. Vincent loved being with his siblings. He would play house, school, library, and hide and seek. Reading books with his mommy was his favorite pastime. Mrs. Dee Hombach enhanced Vinny's life with her love of teaching disabled children academics, and working with him on his large touch screen computer. Vinny had a great sense of humor and would laugh at jokes and loved to be silly with costumes, and his sesame street stuffed animals. His sister would carry him everywhere even when he weighed over 40 pounds. Vinny enjoyed walking with goats, and his dog Duddley. His orange cat slept in his bed and would jump in his wheelchair. Vincent loved his nurses and his Dr. Wenner. His father would sing his favorite song, The Star Spangled Banner, every morning and Vinny would laugh at his Dad's lack of singing talent. Everyone that knew Vincent experienced unconditional love. He touched many lives with his courage and his contagious smile.

In addition to his parents, Vinny is survived by his two brothers; Louis J. Capozzi, III and Victor Louis Capozzi, his sister, Liza A. Capozzi, all at home, his maternal grandmother, Karol Kabroth of Carlisle, his paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Capozzi of Oceanside, NY, his aunt and uncle; Doug and Kay Hoffman of Grantham, his uncle, Edward Capozzi and aunt, Maya Capozzi, both of Sparta, NJ, his uncle, Charles Petrie of Cranston, RI and several other extended family members.
