Hourigan, Vincent T.

TROY — Vincent T. Hourigan, 78 of Troy, passed away on Saturday, June 26, 2021, after a long battle with CIDP.

Born in Troy on March 24, 1943, he was the son of the late John and Rita (Canfield) Hourigan. Vince grew up in Troy and was a graduate of Troy High School. He worked for 43 years as a diesel injection technician for D&W Diesel and Electric until his eventual retirement. In his free time he loved cheering on his favorite football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, watching NASCAR, checking out antique car shows, going to air shows, and watching the car auctions on T.V. Vince could create or fix just about anything. He was very handy and enjoyed passing his knowledge onto his family. Nothing made him happier than time spent with his family, especially his beloved grandchildren.

Vince is survived by his adoring wife, Susan (Bullis) Hourigan of Troy; his five children, Vincent (Nancy Hanko) Hourigan of Columbia, S.C., John (Debra Mccormick) Hourigan of Troy, Steven Hourigan of East Greenbush, Rebecca Piwnica of Cheshire, Conn., and Laura Corbett of Cheshire, Conn.; his eight grandchildren, John (Kait) Hourigan, Kenneth (Heather) Fitzpatrick, Christina Hourigan, Shannon Fitzpatrick, Matthew Pronti, Isaac Corbett, Anna Corbett, and Noah Corbett; his greatgrandchildren, Maddox Hourigan and Jameson Fitzpatrick; and by many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his siblings, Judy Dorrance and Patrick Hourigan; and by his nephew Scott Dorrance.

Vince’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff in the apheresis unit at Albany Medical Center and Dr. Matthew Murnane for the care provided to Vince.

A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, June 30, at 7 p.m. at Parker Bros. Memorial Funeral Home, Watervliet. Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Vince’s family before the service, from 4 until 7 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, those who wish to remember Vince in a special way may consider a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN, 38105.
