Vincent Winkelspecht

Vince never minded being the life of the party. In fact, there were few things he enjoyed more than having “porch parties” with his neighbors in Delran. Gathering on his, or one of their porches for cake in the afternoon often turned into social affairs that lasted for hours. It gave the neighborhood a sense of community, but also reflected Vince’s social nature. As a foreman for Meredith Paving, he always took his job seriously. Even the local inspectors knew this; when they saw him on a job they already figured the road would be laid to the proper specks. When it was time to relax he could usually be found on his trike. Whether he was using it for a local parade, driving it to NY for a 9/11 memorial or just having a leisurely drive he was always up for a ride. But his favorite was to spend time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved to spoil them with money and candy. And when it came to the granddaughters, he’d think nothing of sitting down to have a tea party with them.rnrn Vince is survived by his wife, Frances (nee Convery) of Delran, his sons, Vincent Michael of GA. and Thomas F. (Danielle) of Delran, his grandchildren: Alexia, Cassandra, Dennis, Cheyenne, Dakota, Alyssa and Andy as well by his 4 great-grandchildren.rnrn Vince’s 65 wonderful years (Jan. 1, 1947-May 3, 2012) were celebrated privately by his family.
