IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jun 18, 1931 — Jan 28, 2025
Fairview
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved companion, father, grandfather, great grandfather and uncle. Vincent F. Porzio Sr, affectionately known as
"Vinnie Brooklyn" passed away on January 28, 2025, at the age of 93 years old. He was born on June 18, 1931, in Brooklyn, NY. He honorably served in the Korean war in the 1950's before settling in Fairview, New Jersey with his family.
"Vinnie Brooklyn" loved to cook for his family & friends and in his last few days, he still had the strength to make us laugh with his humor. He was loved by all who knew him.
He spent over 30 years years working at the Palisades Amusement Park where his sister and mother also worked with him, and after that, he owned three successful restaurants bearing his name.
"Vinnie Brooklyn" was known for his fierce loyalty and despite his many responsibilities in life, he always made time for all as he was a man overflowing with generosity that left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He is survived by his loving companion Joanie Hoefsmit, his children, Vincent F Porzio Jr and Debbie Tucci and their spouses. He is also survived by two grandchildren, Justina Mantione & Kaitlyn Bollander as well as three great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105-9959
