Today, we honor the life of Vince Taperowski, a cherished member of the Key West Business Guild family. Vince and his wife, Karen, are among the select few Guild members to be recognized as Lifetime Members, a testament to their lasting contributions, dedication, and friendship.

Vince lived with a remarkable zest for life, a generous spirit, and a deep love for those around him. After a short and courageous battle with metastatic pancreatic cancer, Vince passed away peacefully with his family surrounding him love.

As his family shared, the best way to remember Vince is with joy. Share a story, raise a glass, laugh a little louder, and love each other fiercely, just as Vince loved all of us.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Karen and the entire Taperowski family. Details will be shared when available. For now, the family is asking that Karen be given the privacy and space she needs to grieve, while knowing she is surrounded by the love and support of this community.

What an incredible evening celebrating love, diversity, community, and fine wine at our Key West Pride Wine Tasting at the beautiful Gardens Hotel

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special. Together, we raised a glass to inclusivity, friendship, and the vibrant community that makes Key West such a remarkable place to celebrate Pride. A special thanks to Alana Robles from Breakthrough Beverage for sharing your knowledge and a great selection of wines

Cheers to a fantastic night and many more memorable Pride events to come
