Beloved husband for 59 years of Margaret (Babington) Showalter; loving father of Sarah, Susan (John Kudlik), Peggy Anne (Rick Malady), and Mary Beth (Howard Hubert); son of the late Vincent DePaul Showalter and Sarah Mooney; proud grandfather of Beth Anne and Jason Brokenbek, Alexander Kudlik, Annemarie and Sean Malady, and Max, Alex and Molly Hubert; also survived by many loving nieces, nephews and good friends. Born in Braddock, PA, Vince grew up in Detroit, MI, where he attended Sacred Heart Seminary and the University of Detroit. He served honorably in the U.S. Navy, Pacific Theater, during World War II. A man of boundless energy and varied interests, he owned Fire Fighter Sales & Service Company, Inc., as well as several other businesses. He operated a cattle farm in Butler County, wintered in Trinity, FL, collected cars, tractors and a wide variety of interesting friends from all walks of life. His generosity knew no bounds. His family and friends who loved him dearly will forever miss his witty sense of humor and huge heart. To be teased by Vince was to be loved by Vince. Surely, there is more laughter in heaven since his arrival there! Friends will be received Sunday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at T.B.
