In his youth he enjoyed the great outdoors with his buddy, Jack and took 4-H projects to the county fair. As a teenager he toured Europe with The Zanesville Youth Choir, played the marimba and was known to take a fast spin down Maple Avenue or Frazeysburg Road in his car. He was an Auxiliary Policeman for the City of Whitehall before moving to Lancaster, Ohio where he worked as a Draftsman for Anchor Hocking and eventually retired from DuPont. After retirement he worked for Lowes in Zanesville, Ohio. In 1969 he met the love of his life, Lenora Jean Gilgien and for the next 47 years dedicated his life to his faith and family. Vincent loved his four legged friends and had many hobbies, he was a member of the Fish Club, could fix anything and was an avid collector of just about everything (ask his family)!
