Vincent was born in Kansas City, Kansas, to the proud parents of Marion and Vincent Orme Sr. He was the second oldest of 12 siblings and was known by many names, including Jr., Dipp, Pops, Daddy, Granddad, and G-Pa.

He was a proud father of four children: Vicki, Tina, Vincent III, and Cansada Orme. He was also the grandfather of nine grandchildren: Yezeel, Alyssa, Alexzander, Denzel, Juwan (children of son Vincent III), Trey, and Richard (children of daughter Vicki Orme), and Vincent (child of daughter Cansada Orme). Peter Kennedy is the grandson of his second wife, Olga Orme.

He is survived by eight siblings: Maurice, Waymon, Reginald, Richard, Elaine, Edith, and Martha, as well as Catherine. He is also reunited with three siblings who have passed away: Evelyn, Kenneth, and Ronald.
