A lifelong scholar, Vin graduated from Dorchester High School and joined the Army during WW2.

He enjoyed teaching night school, all while continuing to advance his learning through higher education. With a career working as a teacher and administrator for the Boston Public Schools, Vin was honored to teach at Boston Latin Academy for a decade before retiring in 1988. Vin's love of Falmouth began in 1952, where the beauty of the ocean and family brought him to spend summers, winter vacations and weekends there. After raising a family in Quincy and Braintree, Vin moved to Falmouth full time in the early 1980's where he enjoyed his retirement with his bride. The last six years of his life were spent at Atria Assisted Living in Falmouth, where he enjoyed new and lifelong friends. An avid photographer, traveler and gardener (who loved his fig trees), Vin was an accomplished artist who loved to draw and paint. He is credited with volunteering many hours at the Woods Hole Historical Museum - Bradley House, in the restoration and creation of a scale model of Woods Hole that includes homes, shops and sea faring vessels circa 1895 as well as a mural depicting the era. Due to Covid19, a private graveside ceremony will be held at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne. Donations may be made in Vincent's name to VNA of Cape Cod – Hospice, P.O.
