Dear Dorothy and Family,
I remember Rev. Vinning from the many years he worked at University Presbyterian Church. He was always a gentleman and was much loved by us. He will be remembered fondly by many.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Vinning family during this time. He was like a father to me and my siblings growing up in New City of Zion C.O.G.I.C. There was so many great memories and they will never be forgotten. Thank you for being there and inspiring me to use my gift of song in ministry.

My sincerest condolences on the passing of Elder Vinning, I remember being a young girl and attending his church on Plank Rd across from My Uncle Porter house. He was always a Man of God and shared his Love for God with everyone he met.
