Vincent Lee Sendra, 72, died peacefully at his home on January 15,
Vincent W and Katherine (Fleming) Sendra. He attended
Manchester Elementary School and graduated from Burr and Burton
Academy. He married Noreen Peck in January 1970; their marriage
ended in divorce. He married Joy Ballard on May 18, 1996 and
they would have celebrated their Silver Anniversary in May.
He worked in both the retail and restaurant businesses, the most
recent being Mulligan's of Manchester where he was worked as a
manager, host and bartender. He retired in 2016 following a heart
attack and bypass surgery. Lee, as he was known to friends and
family, had an endearing personality and a playful sense of
humor. He had the wonderful ability to make others feel good about
themselves through compliments and positive words--and his words
were always sincere. He made use of that ability when he
volunteered to be a hospice volunteer when hospice was in its
infancy in the Rutland area. He was a member and strong supporter
of AA, and recently celebrated 31 years of sobriety. His survivors
include his wife Joy of Wells, his Mother Katherine of Wells, a son
Vince of Berkeley, CA, his sisters Mary (Michael) Senecal of
Manchester, Susan (Michael) Kasuba of Wells, and two nephews
Shaun Senecal of St. Albans and Ryley Senecal of Manchester, as
well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was also survived by his
beloved cat, Liddy. He was predecesed by his Father, Vincent W.
Sendra of Manchester. Due to COIVID concerns, a memorial
service/celebration of life will be held at a later date.
