Ronald H. Vincent

ADDISON – Ronald H. Vincent, 84, passed away at his home in Addison on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Ronald was born in North Ferrisburgh, VT on August 29, 1941 the son of Lawrence and Leola (Carpenter) Vincent.

Ronald married his high school sweetheart, Joyce (Irwin) Vincent, and together they shared their love for the family they created, and 60 wonderful years of marriage.

Ronald will be remembered by his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as a steady, gentle presence — the calm one who never seemed to get ruffled. He approached his work with tireless dedication and pride, spending 49 years with the same employer, where he worked alongside his boss & good friend Bill Findeisen. He was a man of quiet strength whose love was shown through steadfast devotion to his family, whom he cherished above all else. Whether tending to his land, caring for his wife, or finding a way to make it to his grandchildren’s games, he always made the effort to be there. His gentle (and sometimes quirky) humor, hardworking spirit, and the familiar “Oh yeah” will forever echo our hearts.

From a young age, Ronald had a special bond with animals, and his compassion extended to all living things. He had a deep love for the land and took great pride in caring for it and for the creatures, great and small, that called it home. Another passion he shared — one that carried on to several of his children — was his love of planes and motorcycles. On warm summer evenings, it was common to see him riding through Addison County, enjoying the open road and the beauty of the countryside he loved so much.

He is survived by his children, Jeff Kasupski (Anne), Tina Telgen (Ron), William Vincent (Patricia), Cathy Vincent, Wyatt Vincent (Chris), Wade Vincent (Yolanda), Michael Vincent (JoAllen), Chad Vincent (Nami), and Jason Vincent (Tricia); grandchildren Kyle and Kevin Kasupski, Nicole Paquette (Heath), Michelle Davis (Russ), Kimberly Moulton (Ryan), William Vincent (Ciera Hoyt), Elisa Taufa’asau-Vincent, Nina Taufa’asau-Vincent Armstrong (Robert), Cheyanne Toledano (Harvey), Allen Vincent (Allie Clark), Makayla Vincent, and Payton Vincent; and great-grandchildren Reese, Liam, Lydia, Jed, and Hana Paquette, Jonah and Cameron Davis, Michael Taufa’asau-Vincent, Robert Armstrong Jr., Anuhea Armstrong, Genevieve Toledano, and Griffin Vincent.

He was predeceased by his wife, parents, his brother Alva “Buck” Vincent, his sister Laverna (Vincent) Bassett, and his dear friend Bill Findeisen.

Calling hours and a time of remembrance will be held on Saturday, October 18, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Brown-McClay Funeral Home in Vergennes. Family and friends are invited to gather afterward at the Vincent home on Route 22A in Addison to take time to celebrate his life.
