Anthony (Tony) Vincent Vincuillo, 76, Vero Beach

November 14, 1944 – August 13, 2021

Anthony (Tony) Vincent Vincuillo, 76, passed away on August 13, 2021, surrounded by his family.  He was born in Astoria, NY and resided in Vero Beach. He was an Electrical Designer/Electrician by trade and before and after retirement, spent many hours in his garage building cars and racing.  He was a member of many car clubs both in NY and FL where he enjoyed racing, showing his car and hanging out with other car people. When he wasn’t showing his car, he spent many hours on the beach fishing which was another hobby of his.  He took the time to volunteer down at 911 as he had a relationship with many police officers and firefighters.

Tony was extremely handy and creative. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix and was genius at making things work which were broken or making an item he wasn’t able to purchase.  He was always willing to help a neighbor or friend whether it was a car problem or home repair.  He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend and left an exhilarating impression with whomever he met. People loved being around him and even strangers flocked to him as he lit up a room with his personality and humor.  He had a wit about him and always made everyone laugh which is part of his legacy and how everyone remembers him.  He was the life of the party, so fun-loving and created many memories for not only his family and friends, but for anyone he met.  He wore his heart on his sleeve and will be sorely missed.

Tony is survived by his wife of 49 years, Karen Vincuillo, daughters Deana and Danielle, grandchildren Alaia and Anakin, son-in-laws Vincent Accardi and John Gruter and his beloved Yorkie Little Tony and grand pups.
