Norwich — Danielle Vincent has been heartened by the outpouring of love and respect for her son, Jason Vincent, and when she learned Norwich leaders were planning a food distribution event in his memory, she donated and said the family wanted to help.
“Jason would be so happy about this,” she said, in between loading boxes of food and packages of eggs into vehicles at the drive-thru food distribution Thursday at the Rose City Senior Center. “He’s smiling down at us.”
Jason Vincent, president of the Norwich Community Development Corp., died Dec. 30 in a suicide in West Virginia. His death shocked city and business leaders who had worked closely with him, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
