Peacefully at South Huron Hospital, Exeter on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at the age of 74. Beloved husband of Evelyn (Steckle) Vincent for 37 years. Loved chosen daughter Caroline Lihanda. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Gord (Judy) Vincent, Paul Vincent, Ilene Fowler, Sharon (Mark) Perry, Pauline Desjardine, Arnold (Nelly) Steckle, Rhoda (Steve) Sinasac, and Sim Steckle. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Earl and Elva (Desjardine) Vincent, parents-in-law Asa and Lillian Steckle, brother Lorne Vincent, and brothers and sisters-in-law Gerald (Marj), Phillip, and Doris Sinasac.
Harv had a long and proud career as a heavy equipment operator, he truly excelled and loved what he did. He was a talented wood worker, crafting many cabinets over the years and beautiful pieces. Those who knew Harv know that he is free from pain and home with Jesus, but his heart of gold will be greatly missed.

Evelyn, I cannot think of the pain you are bearing at this time. When Harv and Scott (our son-in-law) were hospital roommates at SH hospital back in early 2024 the two of them sure shared their jokes, many laughs, but also sad days. They were great together. You and I had many chats also what the future would hold. Harv suffered his share and now free from pain. We love you Harv for how you helped Scott. Evelyn, let God and your faith lead the way in your sadness and all the good memories you have will comfort you in time to come. Hugs, R.I.P. Harv
