Pelrine, J. Vincent, age 62, of Antigonish and formerly of Havre Boucher died on July 25, 2025, in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish.

Born in Antigonish, he was a son of Evelyn (Brow) and the late Anthony Pelrine.

Vincent was a fisheries observer, and he had many stories to tell from the boats.  He was very knowledgeable, and he loved passing his knowledge on to others.  Sometimes that was with his work, which included him training people overseas, and sometimes it was with his love of history, which included him giving presentations to people in his community about the Halifax Explosion.  Vince also enjoyed singing and songwriting, and he was always performing at Irish sessions and open mics across the region.  Vince was a true friend, and he was a wonderful uncle.  He had a very giving nature and was first in line to lend a helping hand.

Besides his mother, Evy, he is survived by his siblings, Nancy (Ken) Fall, Charlottetown; Denise (Kenny) Deon, Havre Boucher; Glenn (Tracy) Pelrine, Havre Boucher; and nieces and nephews, Madison, Matthew, Kaitlyn, Anthony, Emily, Alex, Connor, and Donovan.

Besides his father, he is predeceased by his sister, Jeannine, in infancy.

Visitation will be held Wednesday from 6 to 9pm in St. Paul’s Centre, Havre Boucher.  Funeral Mass will be held Thursday in St. Paul’s Church at 11:00am with Reverend Allan MacPhie presiding. 

Family flowers only, please.  In lieu of flowers, donations to the Music Therapy Program at St. Martha’s Hospital, the People’s Place Library, or St. Paul’s Church appreciated.
