Victor Primavera Obituary

PRIMAVERA, JR., VICTOR
93, of Palm Beach Gardens, FL and Narragansett, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 3, 2020. He was the loving husband of the late Rose (Tamburini) Primavera. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Victor, Sr. and Anna (Pettella) Primavera.
A U.S. Coast Guard veteran, Mr. Primavera served his county honorably during World War II. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in business administration from the former Bryant College, now Bryant University, Mr. Primavera joined his father at Danecraft, Inc, a nearly 100 year old family operated artisanal jewelry manufacturer. A second generation owner, Mr. Primavera was responsible for growing the business from a regional to a national company, now run by a third Primavera generation.
He was involved in many jewelry clubs and associations throughout his career. In the spirit of giving back, he established The Primavera Endowed Scholarship Fund at Bryant University, providing financial assistance to a student in need, majoring in management. Mr. Primavera's passions were numerous. He loved music and was an accomplished musician, playing saxophone, clarinet, and piano. He loved to golf and was a founding and longtime member of the Alpine Country Club in Cranston, the Metacomet Country Club in East Providence, and the East Pointe Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. An epicure, he loved to cook, passing down his recipes to his children and he could often be found in the kitchen creating an array of dinners. He enjoyed spending time in Florida where he loved the warm weather, and cherished visits from family, especially his grandchildren who loved rides in his golf cart. A classy and elegant gentleman, Mr. Primavera was well respected in the jewelry industry, where he always made everyone feel important. A loving husband and caring father, Mr. Primavera embodied family. To his grandchildren and great-grandchildren for whom he had immense pride, he was affectionately known as "Papa Doosie."
Mr. Primavera is survived by his loving children, Victor Primavera and his wife, Becky of Narragansett, and Gail Gesmondi and her late husband, Frank, also of Narragansett; cherished grandchildren Nicole Gesmondi and her husband, Paul Lavallee, Kristina Milan and her husband, Clint, Samantha Primavera, and Alexandra Hauser and her husband, Jay; great-grandchildren, Clinton, Trey, Alessandra, Lilliana, and Jack. He was the caring brother of the late Frances Calise, Thomasina Primavera, and Mafalda Jackvony.

To Victor, Becky and Gail -

My deepest condolences on the loss of a great man in Victor. My late Mom, Betty Ruggiero, always sent his favorite Christmas cookies to him and you all. She would always add a special touch to the trays that went to the Primavera family and I have pictures of the cookies and the great pictures you always sent her around Christmastime of the family and Victor's grandchildren.

They were a special group, our parents, and are deeply loved and will be forever missed.

Blessings......
