The Death of Trustee Emeritus Francis (Fay) Vincent Jr. '60

Williams colleagues,

I write to share the sad news that Trustee Emeritus Francis (Fay) Vincent Jr. ’60 passed away on Saturday from complications of bladder cancer, in Vero Beach, FL. He was 86 years old.

Fay, who served on the Williams Board of Trustees from 1970 to 1988, was an engaged, influential member of this college community for nearly seventy years. He was also renowned as the former commissioner of Major League Baseball, among his many other accomplishments.

I will send a fuller remembrance in the coming days. In the meantime, our thoughts go out to Fay’s family, friends, classmates and admirers in the Williams community.
