Vince was born on October 7, 1923 in Gyarmat Gyor Hungary. He immigrated with his parents to Canada in 1937 and settled in Raymond. He worked as a farmer his whole life and following retirement from farming worked for the Raymond Irrigation District until he was 83 years old. He enjoyed being with the farmers in the Raymond area.
He grew sugar beets for over 40 years and took the last load of beets into the Raymond Sugar Factory prior to its closure. Vince was known for his straight beet rows, clean fields and bumper crops.
Vince worked hard to provide for his family and was proud of their accomplishments. He stayed busy working around his home and yard, and even in his late 80’s he still enjoyed excellent health and could put in a full day’s work until his passing. He and Lena loved to spend time visiting with family and life-long friends in the community. He will be sadly missed by all of his family but fondly remembered, especially for his great example of love, hard work and dedication.
