Obituary of Ronald H. Vincent

With great sadness we announce the loss of our beloved husband, brother, and friend, Ronald Harry Vincent on Saturday October 23, 2021 in Rouses Point, NY. Ron was born in New Brunswick, N.J. on April 18, 1949 to the late Harry and Margaret Vincent. He grew up in Chazy Landing, NY, and his love for Lake Champlain began in early childhood with his two brothers, Jim and Doug. Together they enjoyed boating and exploring the shores and surrounding orchards. Ron's grandmother, Eva Vincent, was special to him. She owned a roadside restaurant and often gave the boys sweet treats. Ron graduated from Chazy Central Rural School and was very proud of his Eagle heritage. His laughter and easy-going demeanor made him a popular young man. He was Senior class President and played several high school sports. Following school, Ron worked many jobs that have taken him across the country. Ron was a talented painter and drywall finisher. He has painted many houses throughout our community, and took great pride in his work. Most customers became lifelong friends. Ron married the love of his life, Sherri Helen Duffy, on June 8, 1991. Together they created a beautiful life. For many years they have shared a love for Adirondack camping, Sportsmen's Pier picnics, gardening, birdwatching, and a love of their home and family.
