Vincent Case Obituary


CASE, Vincent R. January 7, 1948 July 19, 2010 Vincent passed away in Central Saanich, his favourite place in the world. He was surrounded by those who loved him, his wife Rita and their daughter Melissa, Vincent's sons Stephen and David, his wombmate Michael, brother Jack, and sisters Theresa and Gloria. Grampa Vince will be missed by his six grandchildren, Zachary, Harrison, Bronwyn, Joshua, Jennifer, Brayden and his numerous nieces and nephews.

He is without pain and at peace. The family wishes to thank the nurses and volunteers at Saanich Peninsula Hospital Palliative care unit for the excellent and loving care given to Vincent and for the support to the family.

Rita,
You know how sorry we are about your loss. You, Vince, Paul and I were the travelling muskateers! We had many great adventures together and many, many laughs with Vince. We miss him so dearly. I know our daily talks about Vince and his deep love for you can never replace your loss. Just remember how much fun we all had together and how much fun we will all have together one day again.
I told Vince I would always look out for you, and his last words to me were that he said he knew I would, and "Thank you".
So, whatever you need, we are both here for you, and Vince is smiling upon all of us.

With tears in my eyes I say goodbye to a dear man and a great friend.
Vince loved to see Rita and I get together. We were like mischevious school girls, giggly and silly. He loved it! to see us laugh, relax and have fun. Always patient and kind, gently reining us in.
I will miss him dearly. My heart is heavy right now but I remind myself and others, how lucky we are to have know'n Vince.

Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened.

All my love, hugs and kisses to my beautiful friends Rita and Melissa.

Terribly sorry to hear of Vince's death. I was lucky enough to "ride third" on the Ambulance with Vince, while visiting Victoria & looking for a little more "on car" experience.
Vince was just great!! He was soooo very nice to this small town Paramedic & his genuine kindness & professionalism radiated out to all those around him.
My sympathy to all of Vince's family.

Dear Rita and Family
You will not know me, but I had the greatest pleasure of knowing and working with Vince when I worked as an RN in the Emergency Department at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital... many years ago. What a gentle soul. A caring man with such a mischevious sense of humour... many "one liners!" I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I know your entire family will miss him terribly.

Dear Mike & Brenda....
This is an offer of sincere heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your brother. After the loss of two brothers myself, the hurt will eventually be overtaken by the happy memories (all memories) of a life-time, which will help heal your heart(s). God Bless.....

I remember the happiness I felt when I heard that my future sister-in-law had given birth to twin boys, and that one would be named Vincent, after Rita's favorite brother, the man I would marry less than two years later. Sadly, I lost him 30 years ago, and now I've lost young Vince.

The twins have always been fun to be around, often mischievious (they loved it when I couldn't tell them apart), but always loving -- and happiest, it seemed when surrounded by family.

I'll miss you, Vince, but I'm sure that Big Vince was there with your mom to greet you and take you to the big Family Reunion in Heaven.

Dear Case family,

Since we first met Vince in 1971, we knew him to be a genuinely cool, nice person.

The Case family, and those of us who knew Vince, are deeply impacted by the loss of a great and brave individual with incredible character.

There is no question that he positively impacted many peoples' lives. He always lit up a room with his great sense of humour and quick wit.

Jack, Mike, Glo & Theresa, we will never forget your brother & the close bond he had with his family. The world will continue to be a better place thanks to his life and memories.

Our deepest love and sympathy.

Dear Rita and Family - We wish to express to you our deepest condolences as you grieve for your husband, your father, your brother, your grandfather -

I first met Vince over 20 years ago when I was a rookie in the ambulance service. Vince was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and respectful of not only his colleagues, but his patients.

We did not know Vince was sick, and we are so sorry we cannot be with our colleagues and his family and friends to share in his memories and his life.

Again, please accept our deepest condolences in the loss of a very brave and courageous man.

You are in our thoughts and prayers and may the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Vince was one of my "fun cousins"-- cheeky and hilarious -- and will always be part of some of my happiest childhood memories. He was a good, kind and gentle man who cared deeply about his family and about his friends. It is so hard to imagine future family events without a special smile and big hug from Vince. Glenn, Mark and I offer our deepest sympathy to all of Vince's family, knowing that you will miss him very much. He will never be forgotten.
