CLARENCE VINCENT
CLARENCE WILLIAM VINCENT 1927 - 2004 Clarence passed away quietly and peacefully with his loving family by his side. Clarence was born
in Mather, MB, as the oldest son of four children. He spent his youth in that community and grew up helping out on the family farm. As a young adult he moved to Winnipeg and studied at the University of Manitoba, completing his Bachelor of Agriculture in 1952. After graduating he enjoyed a long and varied career in agriculture - primarily with the Manitoba Government - ending his career as the General Manager of the Manitoba Milk Marketing Board. During those years he raised his own family in Windsor Park and lived on Bittersweet Bay for 31 years. The family can remember many happy times during those years. His love of agriculture and farming was furthered by the purchase of a small hobby farm at Salt Lake. The farm doubled as a cottage and fitted Clarence perfectly. He spent many hours there in the company of his family and friends. He was a man whom many loved to be around because of his witty conversation, his infectious smile, and his kind heart. He never looked more comfortable than when he was cupping his hands to light a cigar off a tractor fender, before heading to do some fieldwork. Unfortunately, and suddenly, he suffered a serious stroke in 1986, which left him paralysed on the right side and unable to continue working. Through his indomitable spirit and the dedication of his loving wife, Lois, Clarence's life continued to flourish in White Rock, B.C. where they retired to milder climates. On his scooter, Clarence became an infamous character in White Rock; moving up and down the hills and in and out of the malls. Clarence, almost to his last day, greeted everyone he met with a sincere and easy smile that made you feel you had known him for a lifetime. Dad was a loving father and is survived by his wife Lois Elaine Vincent (nee Heapy); his three children, Faye Harden Meech (Dennis), David (Sandra), Lee Meagher (Pat) and his twelve grandchildren, Travis, Matt, Regan, Kyle, Derek, Jordan, Blair, Margot, George, Connor, James and Rae. Clarence spent the last year at the Winnipeg Convalescent Home. The family wishes to thank Brenda and the many staff for their kindness and care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the St. Boniface General Hospital Research Foundation. Funeral services are at Windsor Park United Church, 1062 Autumnwood Drive, on Thursday, October 21, at 3:00 p.m.
