I have a lifetime of fond memories of my uncles in Goderich. Uncle Vince held a special place in my heart, he always made sure to visit whenever he was in Vancouver for business and I can say I know a bit more about Champion parts for it! Uncle Vince was the only person who could keep up with my mom when it came to talking genealogy. And boy could those two talk for hours about every person they had ever met going back to Porter’s Hill school days. His sister will sorely miss him, as will all who knew him.
My sincerest sympathy to Kevin, Ken and family.
Douglas Culbert
It was always great to meet and chat with Vince.
Please accept my condolences.

Ken and Kevin and family, so sorry for your loss of Vince. We couldn’t have asked for better neighbours than your family all those years on Bayfield Rd. Sincere Condolences.
Janet Arthur
Kevin and Ken, I have no words to truly express the loss of someone so very special in your lives.
As you know, your father was more than my father’s brother. He was a one-of-a kind. Someone I feel blessed to have called my uncle, my god-father, and for the past six years of his life, a cherished friend. My heart is broken that he is no longer part of our lives. Thank you both for allowing me to be part of your father’s journey.

I was so disappointed that we were unable to attend today. My Uncle Vince was a man that I’ve always looked up to, and I will forever remember him quite fondly. I know he will be missed deeply by those left behind. Ken, Kevin, you have my deepest condolences and best wishes through this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Ken and family.
I was lucky to have spent some time with Vincent in the last two years hearing some stories of my mother Madelyn Young’s family. Madelyn always spoke fondly of her cousin Vincent.

Sorry to here of Vince’s passing.
Vince and Betty were a special couple, meeting at dances and having my chats on the phone of years gone by. Vince always reminded me of the story, of you Kevin being pulled out of the ditch on one winters morning by my late husband Doug.

Joanne Walters
Ken & Kevin,
I am sorry for the loss of your dad. I know you were taking good care of him these last few years as he took good care of your sweet mom before that. As a long-time tenant of Vince’s, we had lots of good conversations & I came to consider him a friend (as well as all-round handy man). May you take comfort in the fact that your dad had a long life well lived.
Thoughts & prayers, Joanne.

Vince has always been a great inspiration to me. I learned so much from him through our dealings together with the Knights of Columbus. He always had a genuine concern for others and was a great leader.

Sincere condolences to the Young family. Having worked at Champion Road Machinery Ltd. for 30 years, I knew Vince well during his tenure there. He was a fountain of product knowledge, and we collaborated in many aspects of the company’s activities. Vince also enjoyed visiting the Antique Grader Club and, indeed, it was there that I last spoke to him. R.I.P. Vince.
Ken & Sylvia McGee
To Vinces family.
Vince was a hard working guy and very much involved in service work. He was a loyal customer of ours for so many years as well, and the relationship was always most cordial. What a great age to attain. He certainly will be fondly remembered.
Another local lifelong Goderich man gone to his rest.
Jim & Shelagh McDade
Vince was a good man and was a leader on the Public Utilities Commission and the Separate School Board as well as the Knights of Columbus. His commitment to public service and tireless work ethic made him an indispensable member of any organization. Our condolences to the entire Young family at this most difficult time.
Barb Hayden
Extending sympathy to all Vince’s family. As we age we think back on all the funny things that have happened through the years, and when Vince’s name come up – one thing I remember was working at Champion in the Purchasing Department, and Vince would bring up the cards from the Stores Dept to enable the purchase orders to be typed up, and mailed out (way, way before computers) — but his favourite saying was. ‘Do you see the light’ meaning – ‘are you with me’!! in trying to explain just how he wanted that part of the purchasing order completed.
Then after many years had passed – being asked to work with him & Betty at the Knights of Columbus hall serving people. It’s my understanding that he was the ‘go to’ guy. Great memories for sure.
Vince served the Town of Goderich well – with his rental properties, etc. Now he has earned his rest.
Claire Reynolds
To Kevin and the Young family, we are saddened to hear of Vince’s passing, may you take comfort in knowing that he is at rest now, a life well lived!!
RIP Vince
Mike and Claire Reynolds and Family
