Peacefully at hospital Vincent R.I.P. beloved husband of Ann and loving father of Patrick, Eugene, Dolores, Angela and Vincent.

Vincent's funeral cortege will leave from his late residence, 3 Grasmere, on Monday at approx. 10:20am travelling to St. Malachy’s Church, Coleraine (via Cloyfin Road/Bushmills Road) allowing friends and neighbours the opportunity to stand along the route and pay their respects whilst maintaining social distancing.  

Requiem Mass will be celebrated at 11 o’clock.  (Mass will be broadcast live on www.youtube.com/StMalachysChapelColeraine). Interment afterwards in Agherton cemetery.

St. Pio pray for him.

    My deepest condolences to all the family. Vincent was such a caring and generous family man, with a healthy love of horse racing. I’ll always remember our good times at Galway.

    Very shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Vincent.
    He was a colleague of mine and a respected member of the staff team in St. Joseph’s High School, Coleraine for many dedicated years. He will always be remembered for his quiet efficiency and a soft smile which confirmed that everything was in order.
    My sincere condolences, and that of my wife Maureen, to all of his family circle. May he rest in peace.
