He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Valdor and Vernon.
He graduated from Jackson High in Lincoln, Neb. He attended the University of Colorado Medical School and received his medical degree. His internship and internal medicine residency were at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver, Colo.
He served in the Army from 1943 to 1946, in the 11th Armored Division, European Theater of Operations. He received Battle Stars and a Purple Heart when he was injured in the Battle of the Bulge. Vince served in the U.S. Medical Corps 1951-1958. He was at Fort Sam Houston Army Hospital, Tokyo Army Hospital in Japan and Walter Reed Army Hospital.

Vince had two sports he especially enjoyed: racquetball and golf. He and his partner won the Third International Masters Racquetball Doubles Championship in Salt Lake City in 1971. He really enjoyed sharing his golf time with his grandchildren.
