Condolence from Barb Hayden on July 11th, 2023 3:48 PM

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.

Condolence from Jim & Shelagh McDade on July 11th, 2023 4:59 PM

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.

Condolence from Ken & Sylvia McGee on July 11th, 2023 5:00 PM

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.

Condolence from Barry Page on July 11th, 2023 5:02 PM

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 & 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.

Ken & Kevin,
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.
Please except our deepest sympathies at 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.
Sincerely Pat Walsh

Condolence from Paul Young on July 13th, 2023 9:50 PM

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.

Dear Ken and Kevin: Please know that you are in my thoughts as I know what it’s like to lose a dad. Dads take a lot of memories with them when they pass away. My condolences!! Hugs, Judy

Condolence from Janet Arthur on July 18th, 2023 7:06 PM

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.

Condolence from Ed and Jackie Harrison on July 19th, 2023 7:47 PM

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.

Condolence from Douglas Culbert on July 29th, 2023 5:49 PM

It was always great to meet and chat with Vince.
Please accept my condolences.

Condolence from Ray Bedard on August 2nd, 2023 5:17 AM

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.

Condolence from Judy Jenkins on August 2nd, 2023 4:15 PM

Sincere condolences especially to Ken and Kevin. It’s really tough to lose both parents! So please know that I’m thinking of both of you! Hugs, Judy
