Vincent Anthony Garofalo, Jr. passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at his bedside on October 18, 2020 in Hampton, Virginia after a long history of heart disease. He was born on August 25, 1942, in Boston, Massachusetts.

On February 1, 1964 he married Dianne Marie Bennett in Everett, Massachusetts to which they shared 53 years of marriage prior to her passing in 2016. Through this union he is remembered by his children, Vincent Anthony Garofalo III and his fiancé Debbie, Cheryl Robida and husband John of Virginia, Lisa Beierle and husband Joseph, Michael Garofalo and wife Pamela, Beth Garofalo and "adopted" son Kenneth McGahee. He is survived by grandchildren Jacqueline, Vincent IV, Kegan, Erin Rose, John, James, Giada and Oliver. He was a proud GG to his great granddaughters Savanna and Chloe which he absolutely adored spending time with.

He worked multiple occupations over the years with his last profession being the owner of Bert's Dry Cleaning before retiring. Vinnie had many enjoyments in life such as the Boston Red Sox, Patriots, NASCAR, MMA, crime tv shows, volunteering and of course, Minions. However, nothing compared to him basking in the sun daily.

The family appreciates Reverend Eric Vaudt for coming and administering rites and anointing, and all the medical staff at Riverside Regional Medical Center for their excellent care given and support. May he rest peacefully and forever be in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to HELP Inc, PO Box 190, Hampton, VA 23669, an organization which he volunteered over the past few years in Virginia helping the underprivileged.

Burial will follow in the family plot in St. Patrick Cemetery in East Hampton, CT.
