Vincent Tarquin Obituary
Vin was born in Geneva, NY on May 3, 1947 to the late Vincent and Julia Tarquin. He was the youngest of four children. Vin lived most of his life in the Western New York area before relocating to North Augusta in 2004. He was a graduate of R.I.T. School of business and had a wonderful career. He rose through the ranks at Paychex, starting off as Branch manager, then Regional Manager and finally Vice President of Operations. Vin was always a sports fanatic, and growing up played baseball and basketball. As he got older he enjoyed coaching little league and teaching the younger generation to play the game he loved. He also played a friendly game of poker and golf through the years and was proud of his "hole in one." Vin was a tremendous sports fan and loved rooting for Notre Dame football, the Buffalo Bills, and the New York Yankees, among other various teams.
In addition to his parents, Vin was preceded in death by his sister, Marie; and his brother, Jim.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Jacque; children, Melissa Favata (Rob) and Jeff Tarquin (Wendy); grandchildren, Logan, Grayson, Ryan, and Bodie; and a brother, Dom.
There will not be a visitation or mass at this time.

Vinny: How he loved baseball. He was very good as well. A good guy, I had met for the first time in High School. I went to all of DHS games and enjoyed watching him play. He was one of the best.

Dear Melissa, Jeff and families,
So sorry to hear of your Dad´s passing. He was a good man and loved by many. I know it´s hard to lose a parent, but hold tight to the wonderful memories of good times you had together. He may no longer be on this earth, but he will always be with you, watching over you. You are in my thoughts and prayers and have my deepest condolences. Love, Cousin Karen Laurenza

I'm so sorry to hear of Vin's passing. We were both members of the Class of '65 at DeSales High School in our home town. Vin was definitely an all-star classmate and from what I've just read about his life, he was an all-star husband and father. His suffering is over but his life with you is yours to cherish.

My dad just shared the news with me of Vin´s loss. Although it´s been many years ago I have a few memories spending time with him in Buffalo with Melissa and my parents Joe & Sue. Joe always spoke of him with such fondness. Parkinson´s is a cruel disease and I am sure he fought against it every day. Cherish all the time you all had together as a family and continue to do the same in the time you all have left. We are sending you well wishes as the healing process begins. He will be missed

Vin hired me in 1993 at Paychex. It was the absolute best career move I could ever have made. As a new branch manager, Vin took the time to explain the numerous reports and how I used them to manage the business. He was patient and I knew he had my best interest in mind.
I stayed with Paychex for 24 years retiring in 2018. I was a regional manager and reported to Vin for several years. He actually promoted me to RM in 1999
I know he is at peace with our Lord
Jacque, my deepest condolences

My first memory of Vin in High School. I went to St. Francis elementary school and Vin we to St. Stephen's and had never met him. We became friends, as soon as we met. Vin was a very good baseball player. I went to all of DHS baseball games to see him and my other friends play. When we retired, we both ended up in S. C. Rest in Peace my friend. To his family, his suffering is over. Memories last forever. His friend, Joe Zeoli
