Son of the late Leslie and Margaret (Palmatier) Vincent, he also leaves several nieces and nephews.
Jim graduated Niskayuna High School in Niskayuna New York and earned an Associates degree in Automotive Engineering from Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York. He then served in the U.S. Navy with the 41st Flighter Squadron. Jim took great pride serving with his Navy Brothers.
After his 4 years with the Navy, Jim earned his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Psychology from Russell Sage College in New York and began a lifelong career with Niagara Mohawk, then PSEG, retiring several years ago. He met and married the love of his life MaryAnn in 1985 and proudly adopted Danielle as his second daughter. One of Jim’s proudest accomplishments was building his log home in Charlton, New York with his beloved German Shepard Princess by his side.
Jim volunteered at Veterans Hospice, Immaculate Conception Church (Glenville NY), and St Vincent DePaul Society. He was an avid golfer who loved being outside, walking, hiking, biking, and playing tennis. Jim was a wonderful story teller.

Jim and MaryAnn traveled on their excellent adventures south (with dear friends) for several months each year visiting New Bern, North Carolina, Edisto South Carolina, and St. Augustine Florida, among others. In 2018 after Jim’s Parkinson’s Disease progressed the decision was made to relocate to Marshfield to be closer to family. For the past few years Jim was an active participant with 110 Fitness in Rockland, which offers non-contact boxing, fitness and wellness programs specifically created for participants with Parkinson's Disease.
Jim was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend to all who knew him. He will be forever missed.
