How fortunate we are to have known Mr. Vincent. He was such a great gentleman with a kind and loving personality. We count it a privilege to have been his friend. It was a special treat to visit him while he was still in his home just out of East Liverpool. He was so proud of all his children and grandchidren and shared the many photos he had of them. We never grew tired of hearing his stories of how he started his married life honeymoooning at a hotel in Ashtabula, OH. He also told us all about his time in the bakery and then his milk delivery route. He was so faithful about remembering to send us birthday greetings, in fact I received a card and note for my August 22nd birthday just last week. We will always cherish the memories of this fine fellow. May God bring comfort to all the family who will miss him so much.
Jack and family,
I am sorry for your loss. I remember your dad as one of the good guys. He was involved with us as kids. You were lucky to have him in your life so long.
Tom,
I’m very sorry to here about your father.
