Born in Matawan, NJ to Michael and Antoinette Tomasello on February 25,1925, Vince was a longtime resident of Simsbury, CT and Palm City, FL. He was a member of St. Mary’s Church and Holy Redeemer Church. He raised six children with the love of his life, Kay, with whom he spent 69 wonderful years. Vince served in the Pacific Campaign as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army during WWII earning the Bronze Star Medal. After graduating from Morse School of Business, he founded Airfield Service Bus and Taxi and Bradley Air Freight transportation companies based at Bradley Field International Airport. Vince was an avid golfer, philatelist, master gardener, owner of harness race horses, and devoted husband and father. “Pop” as his nine grandchildren and his five great grandsons lovingly called him, delighted in being surrounded by family.

Left to remember Vince’s love are his children, Johanna Stanko, Kathleen McGregor (Dean), Jane Toner (Gerry), Mark Tomasello (Faye), Carol Sanfilippo (Arthur) and James Tomasello.
