Gerald Eugene Vince
Beloved Father and Stepfather, Jerry Vince, passed away peacefully Aug. 13, 2012 at his home surrounded by his loved ones. He was fondly known as “Pops”.
Pops was an avid fisherman and Royals fan. He enjoyed playing cards and continued playing until the very end. Jerry has now joined “The Love of His Life” Nancy (Dalton-Bernard) Vince, who passed away in March of 2012.
Jerry and Nancy were married in June 1986 in Kansas City. They spent almost 26 years together for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, “till death did they part”. Their life’s journey together included the death of parents and a stepson/ son, and promotions and relocations from KC to Dallas to DC and back home to KC. They both loved creating their Koi ponds and tending to the fish and plants. Feeding, cleaning, and training their various pet birds was a daily joy for them. You knew you were in their home when you heard the birds squawking “Jerry” or “Nancy”. Jerry and Nancy had been lovingly cared for by their family Katie, Philip and Ann Ozorkiewicz.
Jerry is survived by his three children Jeffrey, Mitchell and Bradley, three stepchildren, Ann Ozorkiewicz, Kevin, Brian, Philip and Katie, Craig Bernard and Susan Koenig, 14 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. We all love you “Pops”.
Please keep a watchful eye over us all until we meet again.
The Family will hold a private service.
