Friends & family pay last respects to Patrice Vincent

Friends, family and dignitaries paid their last respects to Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent on Saturday.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and liberal leader Justin Trudeau attended the private service in Longueuil, Quebec.

53-year old Vincent and a colleague were run down by a Jihadist sympathizer in Quebec on October 20th.

Police say it was a deliberate attack by Martin Couture-Rouleau, who was eventually shot dead.

Vincent’s military career spanned 28 years at nine bases across the country.

He was working as a member of the military’s personnel support staff in the IT department in Saint-Hubert.

Vincent’s death came two days before Hamilton Reservist Corporal Nathan Cirillo was gunned down at the National War Memorial.
