Vincent L. Foubert (Vince), 83, of Fairfax, entered into eternal rest on Monday, Aug. 7, 2017, at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, following a brief illness.

Vince was born in a farmhouse in Iowa County on Sept. 22, 1933, to Doris E. Dillon and Harry V. Foubert. He graduated from Millersburg High School in 1952, and then enlisted in the U.S. Army. Following his military service, he attended the University of Iowa and earned a Master of Arts in education. On April 6, 1968, Vince married Gayla A. Seidler from Wausau, Wis., and they made their home in Clinton, where Vince worked as a school psychologist. In retirement, Vince enjoyed reading, traveling the Southwest in his RV and playing games with friends and family. He will be affectionately remembered for his teasing sense of humor and enthusiasm for Hawkeye football.
