Kimbell Richard Vincent

abt 1940

My father’s brother died 8 Aug 2016 at Nanaimo, British Columbia.  He was born at Winnipeg, Manitoba 7 Nov 1938 to Byran Marshall Vincent & Neilsine Dorthe Christianson.

 As a young man, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force like his father.  He worked as a lumberman for time then as an architect/contractor. He built houses and he tinkered with astrology, stained glass and pewter.

 

abt 1957

 

 

He was married 3 times and had 2 children – his eldest, like me, got his mother’s moniker, mine is my first name, hers is her second – both boys loved their mother Neilsine who was taken from them when they were young – yet where did Christine come from?  A play on her last name, she was nicknamed Chris!

Later he took up writing and published a few books - I really enjoyed this one
