Vincent E. Coyle, age 89 of Wayne died on Tuesday, March 22, 2016. He had been a Wayne resident since 1956.

Vincent grew up in Paterson, NJ. He left high school early to join the U.S. Navy and he served proudly before being honorably discharged in 1946. He returned to Paterson and finished high school before taking advantage of the GI Bill and attending college. He earned his degree in engineering from Newark College of Engineering before earning his Master’s degree from Stevens Institute of Technology. He began his career with IBM in California before joining Singer-Kearfott in West Paterson, where he worked in the aerospace industry. He retired in 1986.

Vincent was one of the most intelligent people you could have met. Not only was he an accomplished engineer, but he also mastered many other skills. He played guitar, learned all the trades of home improvement, he could fix anything, was computer savvy and had digitized his entire music library onto his computer. He was also an avid chess player throughout his life. Vincent was always casual, never stopped learning new things, and he had a great sense of humor. He even made good-humored jokes about ‘old people,’ something he never considered himself to be, even at 89 years old. Vincent had a sweet-tooth and nothing made him happier than a good cupcake from Gencarelli’s Bakery. He savored such things and enjoyed his life each day.

Vincent met his late wife, Edith (nee Savage), when he returned from the Navy to finish high school. He spied her from across Hinchliffe Stadium one day and told his friends; “that’s the girl I’m going to marry.” They began dating, and marriage followed in September of 1950. They moved to Wayne in 1956 where they brought up their family. Sadly, Edith passed away in 1999 after forty nine years of marriage and Vincent missed her dearly ever since. They shared a great love together and set a wonderful example for their family to follow.

Vincent is survived by his three children; Patricia Seidel and her husband Richard of Wayne, William Coyle and his wife Patricia of Cary, NC, Robert Coyle and his wife Jill of Travelers Rest, SC, four grandchildren; Kevin and Steven Coyle of NC, Becky Randazzo and her husband Ally of Montclair, and Matt Seidel and his wife Whitney Sperrazza of Bloomington, IN, and two great-grandchildren; Evelyn and Gavin Coyle of NC. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Edith in 1999, and by two sisters and one brother.
