Vincent Senisi

company of his adoring wife.

Vinny was born in Brooklyn to first generation Italian immigrant parents, whose culture

and love of family he carried with him through his life. Growing up in Brooklyn was a childhood

that Vinny treasured, regularly reminiscing about waking up before sunrise to make donuts for

his father’s bakery, playing fullback on Lafayette High School’s football team, and countless

other stories of friends who he cherished, and maintained a close relationship with through his

81 years.

Upon graduating from Lafayette in 1961, Vinny continued his education and football

career at Dodge City College in Kansas. Post college, Vinny returned home to marry the love

of his life, Carol Albano in 1965. The following year he joined the New York Police Department

where he saved many lives both on and off duty.

Above all, Vinny loved his family. His wife of 60 years was the center of his world. He

wanted her by his side every minute of every day. This love extended to his children and

grandchildren who were a never ending source of joy. He never missed a holiday or

celebration, and took pride in the hours of cooking that inevitably went along with them.

Vinny’s sense of humor was always present. He had a magnetic, and at times larger

than life personality that drew everyone he met in and made them a friend for life.

He is survived by his wife, Carol Senisi, his children, Vincent (Darlene) Senisi of Boca

Raton, FL and Kristin (Joe) Whelan of Newtown, CT. He is also survived by his grandchildren,

Joey, Kris, Vincent, Dominic, and Alexandria. He is predeceased by his parents Nunzio Senisi

and Carmela Senisi, his brother Daniel Senisi, and his sister Marita Simeone.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00am on Wednesday, December 10, at St. Joan of

Arc Catholic Church, 370 SW 3rd St, Boca Raton, FL.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to one of Vinny’s favorite charities:
