Vincent "Vince" Paul Neumeier

Vincent Paul “Vince” Neumeier, 74 of Bonita Springs, Florida died on July 17, 2024, at Joanne’s House, a Hope Hospice facility in Fort Myers, Florida after an extended illness. He was born November 12, 1949, in Fort Smith, Arkansas to the late Edward and Mary Jane (Lensing) Neumeier and soon there-after baptized into the Catholic Christian faith. He is survived by his brother, Robert Lee “Bob” Neumeier of Fort Smith, Arkansas plus 3 nieces, and 4 nephews. He was preceded in death by parents, two brothers Edward James “Butch” Neumeier of Claremore, Oklahoma, and Nicholas Charles Neumeier of Hawaii; his sister, Sharon K. Weinsinger of Maumelle, Arkansas; and one nephew, Brian Lee Neumeier of Birmingham, Alabama. A childhood resident of Fort Smith, Arkansas, he was a graduate of Subiaco Academy (high school) in Subiaco, Arkansas where he earned team MVP, All-District, and All-State Honors playing football. He moved to the New Orleans, Louisiana area to continue his education and begin his career, then to Bonita Springs, Florida where he served as the Bookkeeper and Human Resources Manager for 27 years at Cronin’s Porch and Patio. For many of those years, he simultaneously operated his own bookkeeping service. Vincent was mostly known among family members as “Cooky”. He was very involved in planning and coordinating many family reunions plus high school alumni reunions. He had researched and completed an extensive family tree including European ancestors displaying it for all to see, discuss, and update with new additions at each family reunion. His quick wit and fierce competitive spirit shone through in everything he did. Something he innately got no doubt from his German heritage. His hobbies with friends and family included golf, tennis, poker, and pitching horseshoes, often providing color commentary, and talking some smack to throw his opponents off and make the competition more interesting. His closest friends in Bonita Springs, especially his best friend Frank Patsones, will always treasure their laughter on the golf course, where they had a standing golf tee time with their friend group. He also loved to travel with friends and was actively involved in his residential community. Memorial services will be held on August 17th in Subiaco, Arkansas with a 9:30 Catholic Burial Mass in Coury House Chapel, 10:45 internment service in the adjacent Columbarium, and 11:00 gathering of friends and family over luncheon in the Subiaco Abbey Guest Dining Room.
