Vincenzo Pizzimenti

Vincenzo “Vinny” Pizzimenti, 97, a cherished resident of Port Chester, NY, passed away on August 14, 2024.

Born on May 18, 1927, in Italy to the late Domenico and Domenica Marra Pizzimenti, Vinny spent his early years in Italy before immigrating to Port Chester at the age of 18. He dedicated many years to his role as a supervisor in the custodial department at SUNY Purchase.

Predeceased by his beloved wife, Giovanna Bellantoni Pizzimenti, on January 30, 1991, Vinny was a man of great warmth and generosity. He took immense joy in hosting family and friends for Sunday dinners and holiday gatherings, especially Christmas Eve, where they all enjoyed the Feast of the Seven Fishes. His home was always open, and he was known for his readiness to lend a helping hand at a moment’s notice.

Vinny had a deep passion for gardening, and his family and friends were often greeted with fresh vegetables and a glass of his homemade wine. He also enjoyed playing cards with friends and savoring his morning coffee with Charlie and JoAnn. A pillar of strength and kindness, Vinny’s presence will be dearly missed.

He is survived by his sons, Santo Pizzimenti and his wife Tina of Henderson, NV, and John Pizzimenti and his wife Linda of Stamford, CT; daughter-in-law Theresa Pizzimenti (the late Dominick Pizzimenti) of Larchmont, NY; and his beloved grandchildren Christina Pizzimenti, Vincent-Philip Pizzimenti (Amy), Alic Pizzimenti, Anthony Pizzimenti (Arielle), Christopher Pizzimenti, Nicole Pizzimenti Valle (Rafael), and Vincenzo Pizzimenti. He is also survived by great-grandchildren Dominick Pizzimenti and Rafael Valle, as well as his nephew Enzo Pizzimenti and several nieces and nephews.

Vinny was predeceased by his loving wife Giovanna Bellantoni Pizzimenti, his son Dominick, and his cherished siblings.

Visitation will be held from 4-8 PM on Monday, August 19, 2024, at Craft Memorial Home, Inc. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 AM on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at Parish of Saint John Bosco (Our Lady of Mercy Church), 260 Westchester Avenue, Port Chester, NY. Vinny will be laid to rest at Saint Mary's Cemetery, Rye Brook, NY.
