SALISBURY, Md. - Friends and loved ones remembered Sam Vincent - a former deputy state attorney, who died one year ago in a tragic car accident on Saturday.
They held a special ceremony at the Wicomico County Humane Society - to make sure his life's work and legacy lives on. Vincent worked in Wicomico County as a prosecutor for 25 years - but his life came to a tragic end in an auto accident last June. But he was more than a champion for justice - and everyone knew he had a passion for pets. He adopted two dogs from the Wicomico County Humane Society and was a strong supporter of that organization. Which is why they named this pavilion after him. "We were touched with the pavilion dedicated today," said Vincent's twin brother Carl. "This is a good way for us and the community to remember Sam in a positive way."
When Vincent died - the family named the human society as benefactor of all donations made in his memory. They raised close to $9,000. "We were then faced with the wonderful dilemma of how to best utilize these donations. After much thought we decided on a pavilion," said Linda Lugo from the Wicomico Humane Society. The pavilion will be used as place for pet and potential owners to bond with each other away from the noisy confinements of the kennel. Something everyone is sure Sam would be very proud of. His fatal accident occurred on route 50 and Sixty Foot Road near Pittsville. He was just 52-years-old.
