Vincent J.Bonner Sr., 88
REHOBOTH BEACH - Vincent J. Bonner Sr., of Rehoboth Beach, passed away Sunday, April 6, 2008, in Christiana Care- Christiana Hospital, Newark, after a fall at home. He was 88.
He was born in Wilmington on Dec. 21, 1919, to Anna Elizabeth and John Bonner.
Vincent was educated at Virginia Poly Institute and Wayne State University.
He was an avid reader from his early youth. He was an excellent mathematician.
Vincent retired as a systems analyst from CSX in 1985.
During his 40 years at CSX, the family moved often, living in Richmond, Va., Columbus, Ohio, Detroit, Huntington, W.Va., and finally, Baltimore.
Vincent enlisted in the Army during World War II and served in the Pacific Theater.
Vincent and Jeannette were married April 12, 1980, and moved to Rehoboth Beach in 1993 to care for his mother, Anna Grindle, who passed away in 1994.
He and Jeannette spent many happy years being together and traveling with friends.
He will be missed by all who knew him, and cared for him.
Special thanks to his wonderful caregivers.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Belle Simmons Bonner; his daughter, Mary Alice; and son, Mark Allen Bonner.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Jeannette; his dearly loved children, Anna, Vincent John Jr., James and Jane; stepchildren, Mark and Karen Laschinsky; his grandchildren, Angela, Mark Bonner-Kehn, William, James (Jamie), Vincent Kira Laschinsky and Paul Dodgen, who will miss his love and quick sense of humor; his sisters, Barbara Dove and Pat Dolphin; his cousin, Anthony Ferrara; and many nieces and nephews.
A funeral service will be noon Saturday in the chapel of Melson Funeral Services, Long Neck Road, Millsboro, where friends may call after 11 a.m.
Burial will be in Millsboro Cemetery.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests contributions in Vincent's memory to Epworth Methodist Church of Lewes, 19285 Glade Road, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971; or Delaware Hospice Center, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.
