Robert Vincent Obituary

Vincent, Robert
COHOES - Robert Vincent, age 79, of Albany, N.Y., passed away unexpectedly on January 12, 2026. He was born in Albany, N.Y.
Robert was the son of the late Kenneth and Doris (Anson) Vincent; and was predeceased by his brothers, Kenneth and Dennis Vincent. He is survived by his brother, Alan Britain (Geri) of Parker, Colo.; his cousins Richard, Lynn, Paul, and Joanne Anson; and many other loved family members and friends.
Robert proudly served in the United States Navy from 1967 to 1970. He later retired as a member of the Roofers Union Local 241.
He loved nature and the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. One of his greatest joys was watching birds of prey.
