Dear Jane, Barry, Bryan, Lynda and families,

You are all in our hearts and prayers. Marlen was a wonderful man. He had so many great ideas and always a plan designed to make these ideas a reality. He brought smiles to our faces and offered so many words of encouragement to Christina and Carly whether it be a discusion about music or him telling them that no matter what they wanted to be in the furure, their dreams could all come true with commitment and hard work. He will truly be missed.

Dear Jane and your whole family – you are certainly in my thoughts and prayers today. I have always appreciated Marlen and all of you, growing up in Seaforth and during the time we were back for awhile. He was always a great encourager and will be missed in many places. May you know you are held in the strong, gentle arms of God as you adjust to life here without him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We have fond memories of the years past with the Vincent family.

Remember that memories bring smiles to your hearts.

We give our deepest sympathy to you all at this very sad time. In the short time i got to know Marlen, He had such a keen drive and pep. He will be greatly missed by many.
Our sympathy;
Colleen & Mike Cyr

Every patient touches you in some way but the class and dignity that Marlen showed when facing his own death will stick with me for a long time. He liked to challenge me in the office sometimes but that is a good thing for a patient to do. I always enjoyed when I would see him and Jane as they both always had a smile and a laugh that was easily shared.

Our hearts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Marlen will be greatly missed.

I have a heavy heart sending my condolences to you and your family, Jane. Marlen had become a wonderful support person through the troublesome time with Ken&&single&&s Dementia. There wasn&&single&&t a week that went by, that Marlen didn&&single&&t come into the store to see how things where going. He has always been a wonderful person and I know that you and your family will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and just hold onto those wonderful memories. They are so precious.

Our heartfelt sympathy to all the Vincent family. Seaforth has lost a valuable member in so many ways. Marlen always had a friendly smile and positive attitude . He liked to share his ideas about moving forward in his community.

Sincere condolences to all the family Marlen always had a friendly helpful attitude that was a pleasure to know. He will be very much missed

My deepest sympathy goes to the Vincent family. I hope your memories bring you comfort and will always be with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Jane, Bryan, Linda, Barry, and the Dance and Vincent families: We had hoped to make it to visitation tonight but the weather and the distance kept us at home. Your family has been in our thoughts and prayers since we first heard of Marlen&&single&&s illness from Dave, Karen, Rick and Kathy. I have many memories of growing up in Seaforth and the Vincent family was definitely a part of it. From being friends with Barry in high school, Bryan throughout Junior Farmers and of course going to Vincent Farm Equipment with my dad. Since I moved to Ayr to make my home, whenever I saw Marlen we had great conversations. He would fill me in on Seaforth and I would fill him in on Ayr. A unique crossing of our lives. The last memory I have of him is a great one. He was at the Ayr arena with the Masons at the Grand Opening in September being proud. I had the opportunity to seat the special guests and he was one of them. Our sympathy to all of you.

We are all saddened to hear of the passing of Marlen. ORFEDA conventions and visits will always be with us. The Buchanan families extend our condlence and prayers at this time to all the Vincent Family. God Bless you all! Larry Buchanan

Our condolences to you Jane and your family.Sorry Don and I
can&&single&&t be there as Don has not been well . You are in our
thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Hello Jane and family. I was sorry to hear of Marlen&&single&&s death. Losing a spouse and a father is never gentle. I remember Marlen singing with Dad (Gordon) and Ian McRae and Hughie Maus. Great vests for outfits and wonderful 4 part men&&single&&s voices. I imagine them now serenading the angels (possibly accompanied by my sister Heather). I also remember visiting you all and swimming at the public pool in Seaforth. May God be with you all.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Marlen&&single&&s passing. We have very fond memories of Marlen and the Vincent clan. In our youth many road trips were taken to either Seaforth or Ayr from London to visit our Vincent connection.
Our prayers are with you at this difficult time but know that you all will have wonderful memories to cherish.

Jane and family,
Cheryl and I were shocked to learn on the Maple Leaf park channel this evening of Marlen&&single&&s death. We remember Marlen as a happy, friendly, vocally gifted Barbershopper and MLE choir member and a true gentleman. We have missed you both since arriving at MLE in November. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you begin your journey through grief. May your memories of Marlen be for a Blessing. Knowing Mary Fletcher personally we are confident she will be a great support to you during this time.
Cheryl & Grant McKenzie

I was so sorry to hear on Sunday morning of Marlen&&single&&s passing. I had watched his grandsons curling on Saturday and I know how difficult it must have been for them to stay focused. I am sure Marlen will continue to cheer the boys on from above. Marlen was a great community person and in any small town people like Marlen are needed. To Jane (who tried to teach me piano) and Lynda, Brian & Barry and families I extend my sincerest sympathy and trust that you will know that our community has benefited greatly from all the contributions of time and energy he gave us over the years. CA

We are sending our deepest sympathy to Jane and all of the family.
Let the love he has already given each of you be a source of strength.
God Bless.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Vincent family. The pictures on Facebook are such a beautiful tribute to your Dad, Barry. Such wonderful memories of a very special Gentleman. He looks so proud and happy in all the photos.
All the best to you and your family at this sad time. Sincerely, Paul and Patti

Sincerely,
Tracy
