Joseph T. Vince Jr., age 88, of Columbus passed away on June 7, 2021, surrounded by family at Riverside Methodist Hospital. Joseph was born in Steubenville, Ohio, on January 16, 1933, to the late Joseph and Ann (Freeman) Vince.
Joseph proudly served in the United States Navy during the Korean War on the USS Battleship Missouri. He was proud that the ship he served on was best remembered for the surrender of the Japanese, ending the Second World War, and adored sharing stories of his military service with beloved grandsons. Yet his proudest accomplishment was the family he created, and Joseph cherished time spent with family.
In addition to his parents, Joseph is preceded in death by his loving wife Barbara (Crisante) Vince. He is survived by his children Joseph (Melissa) Vince, David Vince, Laurie Vince, and John Vince; grandchildren Joshua (Mitzi), Zachary (Emily), and Matthew Vince; great grandchildren Carter Vince and Solomon Vince; brother Charlie (Barbara) Vince and sister Margaret (Robert) Burskey; as well as extended family and dear friends.
