Vincenzo was a humble, loving generous and kind man. Always had a smile, no matter what life endured. He touched the lives of all who met him with his respect, kindness, and love.  The love of his life was his wife Maria of 70 years married.  Their love story was so special and unique.  They both glowed when they saw each other and spent many nights dancing the nights away and dressing up.  Vincenzo lived life to the fullest and with integrity and respect.  He saw the good in everyone, loved unconditionally and always invited people over to share in his wife’s good cooking and his delicious home-made wine.  Family was everything to him, we all share so many fond memories of him sharing his stories from the past, playing his organetta, dancing the tarantella and most of all loving and treating everyone he countered with love and respect.  Family traditions were a great part of his life, and he instilled all his family values in all of his children.  We are blessed to have had Vincenzo as the pillar of our family. He is now our guardian angel.
