Andrew Howard Vincent, a resident of Kenosha for the last 35 years, passed peacefully at home surrounded by his beloved family. Andy’s last moments were filled with love and comfort. He was 83 years old.
Andy was born in Arkansas to his parents Raymond and Artie, and was raised in Texas, where he met his future wife, Linda Diamante, at work. The two were married on May 21st, 1984. Spurred by his commitment to family & devotion to Linda he relocated from his southern roots to Kenosha to be closer to Linda’s family. His undeniable southern accent remained as strong as he did even after all these years.
Known for being an extremely hardworking man Andy wore many professional hats over the years. He always worked tirelessly and faithfully provided for his family. He will be remembered for his passions, including singing, playing the guitar, fishing, gardening, and camping in his motorhome.
Andy converted from a Dallas Cowboy’s fan and became an avid Green Bay Packer’s fan.
Above all else he’ll be remembered for his unwavering & deep commitment to his family. He cherished his time with Linda, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Andy was preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Artie, and his siblings Jack, Freeman, Violet, Elmer, and Judy.
He is survived by his wife Linda of 41 happy years, his children; Andy (Melaine) Morrison, Roger Morrison, Rhonda (Kimbell) Roberts all of Texas, Kimberly (Rob Schroeder) Diamante, Curtis (Priscilla) Lambert, Michael (Alyssa) Vincent and John (Amanda) Vincent all of Kenosha. He is further survived by his brother Robert (Tina) Vincent of Texas. He is also survived by his many grandchildren and great grandchildren who lovingly referred to him as “PaPa.”
Services for Andy will be held on Thursday, October 2nd, at All Saints Cemetery (3300 Springbrook Rd) in the chapel at 10am.

Beth Vincent says:
Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Andy. We haven’t seen each other in many years but I do remember all of the things he liked that you so sweetly have written. I used to have that 45 he recorded but through the years it has disappeared. I went fishing and hunting with him when I was little. Anyway sorry I didn’t get to know you. Unfortunately my circumstances aren’t good. I’m suffering with heart failure and having a lot of hospital hours at this time. I do however wish you all can find peace and your hearts may rest. I will have you in my prayers and sending a kiss for Uncle Andy. Rest in Peace. Your time of labor is over. Hope I get to meet my cousins someday.
Beth Vincent says:
Maybe my letter was to long so short and sweet. I loved Uncle Andy . We had some great childhood memories, but I will not be able to attend. I begin heart surgery myself this next week if not sooner . Anyway you’re in my prayers. Rest easy and find peace in your time of mourning. Love you Aunt Linda and all you cousins.
Alyssa Vincent says:
Such an incredible man who will be missed beyond the stars. I’m beyond thankful for the many years I’ve been able to spend with him. He was the best father n law anyone could ever ask for. Love you always.
Jess Ruffolo and family says:
Sending love now and always to Kim and the family from ours. Holding you in prayer.
John Wilson Huff says:
Linda and Family,
My heart is broken, along with y’all’s…Andy was one of the finest men I’ve ever known. I’m glad I told him so, instead of just speaking of him after his passing. In the many years of knowing him, I never had occasion to pass harsh words with him. He was generous to a fault.
I grieve with his family and friends, especially after the death of our Sister, Melanie Logue…Linda, I love you dearly…
