We are very sorry for your loss. My wife, Joyce, and I worked for many years with Vince in the Boy Scouts (Lewis and Clark, North Star Districts). He was a dedicated Scouter, and he touched the lives of many young people and adult leaders.

Vince Harbke was a gentleman and a friend to all. I met Vince on my first day at Monsanto in 1969. He was a good man and very helpful to all of those around him. My most memorable event was at the time of Vince's retirement from Monsanto. On his last day a work, the family came to collect him in a white, antique limousine. What a class act! I believe that is the way Vince entered Heaven in that classy limousine with St. Peter as the driver.
