Amoroso, Vincent
October 28, 1947 - January 20, 2018
Vincent Amoroso passed away suddenly of a subdural hematoma on January 20, 2018, while vacationing in Jackson, Wyoming. He was enjoying life to the fullest at the time of his death, as he always did.
Vince was born in Italy and came to live in Schenectady, NY when he was five. He finished college at the State University of New York at Albany and completed the requirements to become a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries shortly thereafter. He worked for Aetna Life and Casualty Insurance Company in Hartford, CT and then moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked as an actuary for the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
After his government work, Vince became a consulting actuary and worked for KPMG Peat Marwick in the national office. He later held a similar position at Deloitte & Touche LLP. Throughout his career, he supported the actuarial profession through volunteer work, including service on many committees and on the boards of the Society of Actuaries, the Academy of Actuaries, and the Conference of Consulting Actuaries. In addition, he served as president of the Conference of Consulting Actuaries.
Vince embraced his hobbies with the same enthusiasm and drive that he applied to his work. He was a passionate cook, a lover of movies, and a student of wildlife of all kinds. He loved learning about new things and trying new recipes. One of his favorite activities was entertaining at home, and he was in his element with a dinner table full of people enjoying his food and his stories. He loved nothing more than sharing feasts and laughs with friends and loved ones.
Vince was also generous to strangers (although some would say he never met one.) He shared his cooking skills and his lively personality while preparing and delivering meals for Meals on Wheels in Sarasota; he also enjoyed preparing and serving meals for participants in programs at The Haven and at his church, First Congregational United Church of Christ in Sarasota. In addition, he worked serving food at the Salvation Army in Sarasota and at the Welcome Table in Asheville, North Carolina, where he spent summers. He firmly believed that no one in this country should ever be hungry and consistently did what he could to implement that belief.
Vince is survived by his wife, Tam Milton, and their son, Michael Amoroso, who will miss his vibrant presence in their lives. A Memorial Service is planned at 11:00 on February 17 at First Congregational United Church of Christ, 1031 South Euclid Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34237.
