Vincent R. Kremer

Vincent R. Kremer, 69, of Greensburg, loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away Monday, March 18, 2019 in his home.  He was born December 6, 1949 in Pittsburgh, a son of the late Joseph J. and Frances H. (Jastrebski) Kremer.  Prior to retirement he had been a corrections officer for the Westmoreland County Prison.  He was a member of St. Bruno Roman Catholic Church, South Greensburg, the South Greensburg Hunt Club, S.N.P.J., Carbon, and the American Legion Post #344, Jeannette.  Vince loved spending time with family and friends.  He was a larger than life figure that was regularly the life of the party.  His singing skills were on display anytime he was around a karaoke machine.  It is not hard to think of him singing and just smile.  Additionally, he really enjoyed his vacations.  He had a true appreciation for the palm tree.  He often referred to it as the most beautiful tree in the world.  Vince loved his family very much.  He especially adored his seven grandchildren.  He truly appreciated each of their unique personalities and has enjoyed watching them grow.  He also liked to do whatever it took to make them laugh.  His unique grandparent qualities will be sorely missed.  Vince would want to be remembered as someone who lived life to the fullest.  He lived a life that touched a lot of people and created a lot of laughter.  And, in the end, when you think about Vince, you should always have a smile on your face, as that is what he would want.  In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his sister, Carol Nagy; his niece, Stephanie Nagy; and his brother, Robert Kremer.  He is survived by his wife of 25 years on May 14, 2019, Michele D. (Weimer) Kremer; three sons, Vince Kremer and wife Jennifer, Dennis Kremer and wife Brandeis, and Rocky Kremer and wife Errika; two daughters, Peggy Hayden, and Christina Carroll and husband Shawn; seven grandchildren, Christopher, Ashley, Austin, Amanda, Milana, Harrison, and Henry; two brothers, Raymond Kremer and wife Kathy, and Joseph Kremer and wife Mary Ellen; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.  Friends will be received from 4 to 8 PM Wednesday at the LEO M. BACHA FUNERAL HOME, INC., 516 Stanton Street, Greensburg.  Prayers will begin at 9:30 AM Thursday in the funeral home, followed by a funeral mass to be celebrated at 10 AM in St. Bruno Roman Catholic Church, South Greensburg.  Entombment will follow in St. Clair Cemetery Mausoleum, Greensburg.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children, 1645 W. 8th St., Erie PA 16505 or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.  The family would like to extend many thanks to all of Vince’s family, friends, and his wonderful hospice team for all the prayers, love, and support through this journey.  www.bachafh.com
