"He was always all over the place helping people out and when he came into a room, you definitely felt it," Sgt. Marc Adolphe recalled in an interview. "He had a very positive energy to him, a very big voice, always smiling, always happy. " A funeral will be held Saturday in Longueuil, Que., for Vincent, 53, who died of his injuries after he and another soldier were struck by a car on Oct. 20. Authorities have said the driver, Martin Couture-Rouleau, deliberately hit the soldiers in a parking lot in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, southeast of Montreal.

Police eventually shot him after a car chase. Two days later, Cpl. Vincent was working as a member of the military's personnel support staff when he was struck. "He enjoyed what he did, which made everything go much easier," Adolphe said. Canada Honours Nathan Cirillo On The Highway Of Heroes (PHOTOS)
