Vincent Grieco, Jr., age 56, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 2, 2020. He was born on November 19, 1963 in Yonkers, NY and was raised in a loving family with his parents and siblings. He attended Our Lady of Mt. Caramel for school followed by high school at Yonkers High School.
Vincent began his career in construction by attending the carpenters apprentice school in NY. His eye for detail and dedication helped him develop his career from a framer in the residential industry all the way through superintendent in the commercial industry. Within his industry, Vincent was known for developing great relationships with all workers and his exemplary quality of work. He was loved and admired by all due to his respect for all tradesmen, co-workers, and bosses. His charismatic personality and work ethic were something to be admired.
Vincent loved his family above all else. He took great pride in his children and grandchildren. Vincent and his wife enjoyed spending time outdoors and dreamed of one day owning a cabin in the mountains. They enjoyed the qualities of their simple life together. Whether it be through sitting on the sofa watching T.V. , vacations, or hiking through the trails, their love for each other was evident to all. Vincent was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed. He spent countless hours developing relationships with other men in an effort to help them put their lives on the right track. In turn, these relationships made his life more full, as well. He would help neighbors, friends, and strangers in any way that he was needed, without hesitation. Let's not forget, his love for all things related to food!
His family is grieving the loss of his early death. Cancer may have taken his body but he will forever be present in the family's hearts. They will keep his memory alive by "living the dream", as he would say.
Survived by his wife of 18 years, Jennifer Grieco; children, Alexander Grieco, Arianna Hutchens and husband Brandon and Jordyn Grieco; grandchildren, Camden and Dawson Hutchens; mother, Vilma Paese; siblings, Angelo Grieco, Joseph Paese and wife Jennifer, Janine Castaldi and husband Ralph, Billy Paese, Cathie White and husband Kenny.
