Lakeside singer and songwriter William (Bill) Alan Vincent died after a lengthy illness on Saturday, November 22, 2015. As he wished, he was in his El Chante home with his beloved wife at his side.
Vincent was born on October 16, 1957, in Japan, the youngest of the six children of Gene Alan Vincent and Henrietta Ita Facteau Vincent. The Vincent siblings, children of a career Air Force family, grew to adulthood moving around the world.
Bill and Kitt married on April 16, 2003. They lived in Arizona and Nashville, Tennessee, where he played in clubs before moving to Lake Chapala.
Vincent was well known on the lakeside music scene, and achieved a lifelong dream by forming his own band, Pure B.S., with close friend "Stan". He was a member of Los Cantante, Clube Ukulele de Laguna, a regular at karaoke nights, the Ajijic Drum Circle, events benefit the Tarahumara of the Copper Canyon and the Open Circle's annual Christmas program.
"Praise to the King," Vincent's original Christmas carol, is being performed at Los Castanets concerts this year in his memory. Readers can listen to Vincent perform the song in the 2013 concert at http://loscantantesdellago.com/category/youtube.
Less well known was Vincent's other creative outlet: quilting. He was a member of the Ajijic Quilt Guild and had prepared a wall hanging depicting a skeleton playing guitar, which he called "Song of the Dead.
Vincent is survived by his second wife, his son, daughter-in-law, and his four sisters and brother.
A celebration of Vincent's life was held Thursday, December 10, 2015, at 5pm at Johnny Mama's Bar in San Antonio. Those attending can bring an appetizer or snack to share. The event will be filled with the music for which Vincent lived.
