Dear Vincent Family, my sincere sympathy for the passing of Kent. I have special memories of working at the Vincent Drug with Pearl, Richard and Kent, when I was in high school. The boys liked to tease and play tricks. My thought and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Patricia (Trish) Anderson Joos

To the Vincent Family (and Sherman in particular). I knew your family back in the day in Ephraim, And then I connected with Kent when he was a resident at Alta Ridge Assisted Living (where I am a resident also). I was saddened to hear of your loss. Kent was a sweet man and we were sorry to see him leave AR and especially saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. we may miss him, but he is now reunited with his beloved Theone.

Dear Valerie and Family,

We were saddened to read about your father's passing, and send our love and condolences. I remember, as a child, many times enjoying a milkshake with my own father while we waited for a prescription to be filled. What a great family. We are here in the Azores (part of the Lisbon, Portugal mission) or we would have attended the viewing.

Much love, Don and Vickie Phippen

Kent attended Jordan High with my Dad, and I attended Hillcrest with some of his children. In all of those years, I have never heard or seen anything but good from Kent and his family.

I feel fortunate to have known this great man, I also feel fortunate that I have sat at his soda fountain. I will miss them both very much.

I remember going in his store after a ballgame down the street. Always asked me if we won. Loved his sports. RIP

I loved working at Vincent Drug during my junior and senior years in high school. I learned so much and loved working at the soda fountain. Kent generously sponsored me once in a pageant. He was a bit of a tease and played a few pranks that I totally fell for. He has left a great legacy for his family. My prayers are with you at this time as you say farewell to a good man and father. Love, Anita Sharp Hatch
