Born in Tracadie, he was a son of the late Walter and Sophie Jane (Perro) Pitts.

Vince was a landscaper, first working with the City of Halifax in the Public Gardens, then working with an Antigonish landscaping company which he purchased, forming Pitt's Landscaping, before retiring in 1993. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting and fishing and spending time at his camp. Vince was very proud of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and he loved them all dearly.
