ALBEE, F. VINCENT, CLU, CHFC, 'SKIP' or 'YO VINNIE!', 66, Barrington, RI, passed away in his home on Thursday, August 20th. Vincent or 'Skip' as his parents called him- was born on March 23, 1943, in Providence Rhode Island. He was the son of entrepreneur P. Fredrick Albee and Helen P. Albee.
After moving several times, his family finally settled down in Barrington Rhode Island where he attended Barrington High School Class of 1960. Vincent went on to graduate from Brown University Class of 1964. To support himself in college, Vincent sold Encyclopedia Britannicas door to door. Being a great salesman, he discovered, was his true talent. An associate of his father's introduced Vincent to life insurance sales for National Life of Vermont. After working there for fifteen years, he became affiliated with GenCorp M. Securities Group Holdings of East Greenwich, R.I. Vincent was a member of the Million Dollar Round Table, the University Club, the 2000 Club, Warren Rod and Gun Club, the Barrington Yacht Club and Newport Yacht Club. He served as Commodore of Barrington Yacht Club from 1995 to 1996. He was also involved with Narragansett Bay Yachting Association for several years. For his many years of motivation and dedication Vincent was the recipient of several awards for accomplishments both in business and in sailing. Sailing was indeed his passion and, from childhood, he happily sailed the waters of Narragansett Bay. 'Yo Vinnie!' as he was known at the Yacht Club, participated in the Cox Tuesday night sailing series at the Barrington Yacht Club winning the Class A championships three consecutive years with his C+C 39 AVANTI. He sailed and raced boats in the Caribbean for many years and participated in the Heineken Regatta, Antigua Race Week and the 2001 America's Cup Jubilee in Cowes, England. In semi-retirement, he thoroughly enjoyed cruising aboard his Catalina 42 CHAOS with first mate and wife Betsy Albee and crew Ally and Sidney, their two standard poodles. They sailed extensively throughout Narragansett Bay, Cutty Hunk, Martha's Vineyard, Edgartown, Nantucket and finally Maine; with a personal favorite stop in Scituate Harbor.
Vincent is survived by his wife, Betsy, his sons, Chris and Brett and his stepmother Barbara Albee.
