Born April 30, 1933 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Vincent and Chrisabelle Redmond, (both deceased), brother of Diane (deceased) and twin brother of Beauregard. Vance was a very warm and kind person blessed with a keen intellect, a wonderful sense of humor and a formidable chess game. He was an extremely artistic man whose love of art, literature and music were surpassed only by his passion for the Boston Red Sox and Washington Redskins. He will be missed by many who were fortunate to have known him. Vance is survived by his very dear friend, Charlene Wells of Rochester, NY; brother, Beauregard of St. Augustine, FL.; his son, Vance and grandchildren, Thomas, Joseph and Catherine all of Arlington, VA.; other survivors include nieces and nephews, Jane Hunter of Metairie, LA., Nancy Heinz of Dallas, TX, Miles Paisant of Daphne, AL., Scott Paisant of Denver, CO, Sudie Redmond of New York, NY, Chrisabelle Redmond of New York, NY, and Laure Redmond of Portland, OR.

More: I haven't seen Vance in many years but even after all the time that has passed, I still have fold memories of the life we shared at Newman school, Tulane University, and Deke. Vance had a rare zest for life and a colorful imagination. From his obituary, it is apparent this didn't change. I am sorry he went out of our lives here in New Orleans. Our loss was your gain.

Vance was one of a kind - he made life interesting for those who knew him. In New Orleans, he was a legend; at Tulane he was the center of all the action that really mattered. It was a sad day for all his friends when he moved away. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.

Dear Beau and Charlene Wells:

I was so very sorry to read of Vance's death from the Times-Picayune.

As Beau knows, Vance was a good friend of my brother, Jerry. I have only fond memories of Vance and had recently gotten his address from Billy Messersmith. However, it got misplaced in Katrina.

Grace and I send our sincere condolences to you.
