Jack was born to Francis (nee Gray) and Stanley
Vincent and grew up on a dairy farm in the Bearspaw
area. He attended three different one room school
houses in Westminster, Bearspaw and Glendale Districts to the end of
Grade 9. He attended High School at Mount Royal. He remained in the
Bearspaw area for 78 years.
Jack graduated from University of Alberta in 1966 with a Bachelor
of Commerce and worked in the oil and gas industry in finance and
accounting and eventually set up his own accounting and tax business.
Some of his work and business took him overseas to Russia and
Bangladesh where his wife joined him. They travelled together to many
different places while overseas.
Jack loved trains, old cars, travelling, history, reading, eating out with
his beloved wife, and being amongst his busy family. He was a man who
lived quietly, but did not live a quiet life; he listened well, complained
little and lived an optimistic life even to his last breath. He will be fondly
remembered by his family and many friends.
A private family graveside service will be held at St. Andrew’s Cemetery
in Cochrane.
