More detail on this person: Vincent J. Jordan III passed away on November 6, 2014. He was born February 14, 1943 in Indianapolis, Indiana, a son of the late Vincent J. Jordan, Jr. and Anne Elizabeth Jordan.

As a part of a military family, he attended 14 different schools growing up. He attended Utica College which was part of Syracuse University at the time. He enlisted in the Army in 1964, entering flight school after basic training. He was with the 118th in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot from 1965 to 1966 and was honorably discharged in 1970.

He was self-employed, owner and builder of a cable T.V. company for 30 years in New Jersey. After the sale of his company he moved here in 2001. A jack of all trades, he had many interests including cars, flying and always trying to come up with a better way of doing something. He was generous to his friends and acquaintances.

Vince is survived by his wife of 49 years, Eleanor (Dolly) Jordan and a daughter Lisa Jordan of Arlington, VA; sisters Anne Willis of Monroe, NY and Linda McKenna (Gary) of Fairport, NY and several nieces and nephews.
