Lester Lee Vincent

Les was born on September 21, 1938 in New Holland, Ohio, to Mary Yeoman Vincent and Theodore Vincent. He grew up in a large loving household with his five brothers and one sister. After graduating from Bloomingburg High School in 1956, he married his high school sweetheart, Zana Cowdery Vincent, and enlisted in the United States Army.

An exceptional marksman, Les served his country overseas as a sharpshooter for two years, reaching the rank of Private First Class. Following his military service, he went on to study Business at The Ohio State University.

Prior to establishing his own successful accounting and tax service business, Les spent many years in the finance and banking industry. He held executive positions at Banc Ohio, Mid America Federal, and Gibraltar Financial Corp.

Les was a sports enthusiast, with a passion for golf. He also enjoyed the outdoors, and spent many years boating, water skiing, and camping. Though he had many interests, family was the essence of Les’ life. He was a proud and devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his brothers; Ken, Jack, and Ted Vincent, and his sister June Hughes. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Zana, his daughters; Dr. Jill (Tim) Burke, Mary Beth (Doug) Ganim, and Stacy (Kevin Hampton) Vincent, his grandchildren; Melissa (Ryan) Alexander, Meredith Burke, Doug (Samantha) Ganim III, Logan Ganim, Zana Williams, and Kylie Hampton, his great grandchildren; Avery Alexander, Ryder Alexander, Harper Alexander and Grayson Ganim, his step-grandchildren; Michael (Ansley) Hampton, Chandler (Gabbi) Hampton, his step-great grandchildren; Lane and Luke Hampton, and his brothers; Bob and Rick Vincent.

Les will forever be remembered as a loving, gentle and caring man. He will be eminently missed by his family and friends.
