After his career in the Forces, he went on to work at Indian and Northern Affairs as head of Finance. Vince was an avid golfer, loved and had a deep understanding of baseball. He was very gifted with written and spoken word; if you didn't already know Vince would tell you. He coached basketball in Marville France in his younger years, was a deft shot in pool, a great distance swimmer, curled and was a member of the Amherst Curling Club. He also loved to spend time at the family cottage in Pugwash. He was very generous with his time and loved spending time with his family. Perhaps his greatest skill was his concise dry humour and knew that the truth didn't always come dressed for dinner. There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, December 1 between 2 to 4 PM at the Amherst Curling Club Amherst NS
