Vincent John Harnett, age 79, died peacefully on April 27. Born on February 28, 1940 in Chicago, IL, Vince moved to Irvine, CA with his family in 1978. A graduate of Fenwick High School, Xavier University of Ohio (almost), and a reserve member of the United States Marine Corps, Vince worked in the fields of telecommunications, data processing, and computer leasing for over 40 years. A devoted husband, a loving son, a supportive father, and a dedicated friend, Vince will be remembered for his quick intelligence, engaging personality, and open, generous spirit. He is preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Mary Ellen. He is survived by his sons Patrick, Jason, and Daniel—and their wives Colleen, Jennifer, and Corinna—and eight grandchildren: Amani, Noah, Benjamin, John, Angelina, Lorelai, Rainey, and Brody. If so desired, a donation to Fenwick High School in memory Vincent would be greatly appreciated.
A memorial service for Vincent will be held on Saturday, May 25 at 11:00 at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar.
