Vincent Jerome McCoy, 67, of Rochester, MN died unexpectedly Sunday, April 12, 2020 in his home.
Vince was born November 23, 1952 in Rochester, MN to Leonard and Mary (Coleman) McCoy. He graduated from Lourdes high school, in 1971 and grew up as a member of St. Pius Parish. Vince earned a Bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Minnesota. On June 13, 1981, he married Hila H. Snyder of Eden, NY after meeting during their Peace Corps service in Swaziland.

Vince was a certified master gardener and loved growing vegetables to share with his loved ones. Vince enjoyed his many trips to the BWCA with his life long friends.
Vince was a dedicated member of the Greater Rochester Rotary Club for over 20 years. He exemplified Rotary’s four-way test in all of his interactions, those being:
is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, does it build good will and better friendships, and is it beneficial to all concerned.
He is survived by his wife, Dr. Hila McCoy; son, Jack McCoy (Shannon Murphy); daughter, Mary McCoy (Chris Olofson); brother, Dan (Rita) McCoy of Rochester; sister, Patricia Carr of Detroit, MI; and many nieces and nephews.
