I live on Marshall Road in Avon and I only met Vince once. I stopped by and asked him if he would help me with my 8N tractor and tow behind finish mower. This was 2004 and I had just moved into my home with my wife and two young sons. Vince was so neighborly and helpful. He wouldn’t take any money and was so friendly. My wife and I really appreciated his help! I could tell Vince was a great man and he has a great family in and around Avon. Every McKeown we ever met was wonderful. God bless you Vince in Heaven.

I have fond memories of Vince and your whole family. He worked for years with my dad, Tom Sims. He is now with him and Wally and Jerry. May your memories bring you peace during this time of sadness.
Dad, I hope that you had a safe journey home. I’m extremely thankful that I was able to hold your hand during your departure…for you have always held mine.
I will always remember your sparkling baby blues!
I Love You!
your loving daughter, Mary (Monya)
My heart goes out to all of you and your families. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. You have had way too much to deal with this past year.Bonnie and Steve
