HILLCREST — In his last hours, Vincent Linguanti managed to do everything he loved.

There was 6:30 p.m. hockey practice. A car ride with his older sister, Carolyn, for Chinese food and a stop at the Hillcrest Firehouse, which he had recently joined. And finally, a long shower to unwind before heading to bed.

"We're just going to miss him a lot," said Linguanti's father, Bruce, his eyes filling with tears. "Ironically, his heart killed him. Every coach he ever had said he had the biggest heart of any kid on the ice. It's just so sad."

The last few days have been tough ones for the Linguanti family. There have been many tears and hugs shared. But the Hillcrest family is dealing the best they can following 16-year-old Vincent Linguanti's death early Monday morning.

A fireman's funeral service for the Hillcrest junior volunteer firefighter will be held 10 a.m., Friday at Sacred Heart Church in Suffern.

The article makes it seem, IMO, that he died peacefully in his sleep and it just mentions that he got to do things he loved the night of his death.

Rest in Peace Vincent.

No, it was not LODD. The kid just joined too on August 3rd. Wake is tomorrow night, 7pm to 9pm, at Wanamaker Carlough in Suffern and Funeral Mass on Friday morning, 10am, at Sacred Heart Church in Suffern. I don't have any more details then what was in the paper.
