The Obituary

Joe Vassar was born in Montevallo Alabama to the parentage of the late Gilford and Nellie Vassar.

He met and married Frances Ghent (deceased).  Later he married Jane Vassar (deceased), and to this union two children were born, Joan Vassar, who now lives in Tallahassee, Florida and Gilford Vassar (deceased).

Joseph served in the Military – Buffalo Soldier.  He lived in New York City until his wife passed away and he then moved to Winter Park, Florida, where he remarried and lived until his mother passed away.  He then moved back home to Montevallo, Alabama.

He was a very caring and loving man and always said that family came first.  He was a big lover of the Montevallo community.  He walked the streets daily to get his exercise.  Everyone knew "Mr. Vassar".
