PROSPECT — Vincent “Vinny” A Coose, 54 of Prospect passed away peacefully with his family by his side on September 14, 2021. 

He was born on April 21, 1967, the son of Eldred and Linda (Kelmel) Coose.

Vinny loved spending time with his family and friends.  They meant the world to him. He enjoyed snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, yard sales, and Caribbean cruises. A skilled meat cutter, he was employed by Hannaford for more than 30 years. When not at Hannaford, “Vin Man” enjoyed working with his friend Todd on Todd’s lobster boat. Vinny was also a Mason and a Shriner. Always willing to help people in need, Vinny relished the brotherhood and humanitarian mission the Mason’s represented.
 
“Vin Man” was loved and cherished by many. He will live on in their stories and fond memories. This man loved life and lived life to the fullest. His sense of humor and giving nature will be sorely missed. We love you Vinny Coose and you will always be in our hearts!
