Vincent Caissie, 93, of Moncton, passed away on Monday August 15, 2022 at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC. Born in Rogersville, he was the son of the late Maxime and Léocadie (Goguen) Caissie.

Vincent was a civil servant with the federal government. After retiring, his favorite pastime was unravelling his family's roots across generations. A great lover of Acadian history and genealogy, his in-depth research on the Caissie family has greatly contributed to a better knowledge of the history of the Caissie’s.

He is survived by his wife for 67 years, Louina (Richard); six children: Claude of Riverview, Roger (Lise Laverdière) of Trois-Rivières, QC, Rachel (Wayne Zelmer) of Moncton, Michel of Dieppe, Nicole of Moncton, and Alain (Corinne Snider) of Alma; four grandchildren: Nicolas, Laurence, Anik, and Elise; four sisters-in-law: Gladys Caissie, Elda Richard, Eva Richard and Anita Richard; as well as several nieces and nephews. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by eight sisters and brothers: Elodie, Livain, Gérald, Louise, Paul, Jeanne, Edmond, and Fernande.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no visitation at the funeral home. The funeral mass will be celebrated at St-François-de-Sales Roman Catholic Church, 11111 Principale Street, Rogersville, on Tuesday August 23 at 11 am. Interment will be in the parish cemetery. In memory of Vincent, a contribution to the CHU Dumont Foundation, the Monument national Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption of Rogersville, or a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (858-1900).
