Texas, and formerly of Dallas, will be at 11:30 a.m. Monday at Lamar & Smith 
Funeral Chapel in Dallas, with burial at Birdston Cemetery in Streetman, in

He died Friday of cancer.

Vinet, a native of New Orleans, was a World War II veteran. In 1945, he joined
the Texas & Pacific Railroad in Dallas and worked his way from secretary to 
director of industrial development. The railroad merged in 1976 with the 
Missouri Pacific, and Vinet moved to Houston in 1977 when Missouri Pacific 
consolidated its industrial development division. In 1982, the railroad merged 
with Union Pacific Corp.

Vinet retired last year.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Clesie (Ruth) Vinet; his son, Daniel, of 
Grand Prairie; and his brother, Allen Vinet, of Chalmette, La.
