Snodgrass, Vincent Gerard (Vince) Peacefully after a short illness in the presence of family on Sunday, July 7, 2019, in his 86th year. Dearly loved husband of Alice and the late Joan and Doreen. Dearly loved “Vince” of Alice’s children Donna Knight and Jimmy Robertson, Peter and Janet McKnight, Ian McKnight, Trish Henderson, Yvonne and Steven Watt and all their children.

The family wish to acknowledge the staff at Vickery Court for their care of Vince over the last 15 months and also the staff at Southland Hospital for their care during the last week. Requiem Mass will be held in St. Mary’s Basilica, Tyne Street on Friday, July 12 at 10.30am followed by interment at the Eastern Cemetery.

Thinking of you all. Vince was a lovely man and I have great childhood memories of him being very funny and really good with us

Vince was a tremendous man, who always put others ahead of himself. His sense of humour was infectious. I have found memories as a child of riding in his truck and pushing on the dash to help him up the hills. Rest In Peace Vince and thanks for the memories.
