Vincent Edward Keenan, 92, of Cocoa Beach, FL, passed away peacefully on January 2, 2025.

Vince was born on October 13, 1932, in New York City, New York. He lived in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, and Toms River, NJ, before moving to Cocoa Beach, FL, 36years ago. Vince proudly served his country in the Army Reserves and later as a member of the U.S. Army, where he was deployed to Korea. After his service, he earned a bachelor’s degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a master’s degree from Stevens Institute of Technology. He embarked on a successful career at RCA in the NBC building, NYC, and later at GE as Director of Financial Systems. Vince moved to Florida in 1988, where he semi-retired and worked as an accountant at Vincent Keenan Realtors.

Vince was a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Elks, the American Legion, and the Moose Lodge. His greatest joy came from fishing, boating, and traveling—he went on approximately 75 cruises. He was very close to his grandchildren and enjoyed sharing his life experiences with them.
