Obituary of Vincent F. Montesano

Vincent(Vinnie) F. Montesano, 82, of Mamaroneck, passed away suddenly on Friday, September 3, 2021.  He was the son of Italian immigrants, Lucio and Venera Montesano.   Born in the Bronx, he graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School.

The family would really like to thank Vinnie’s neighbors who kept a watchful eye on him and the house and kept his driveway clear in the winter.
