Obituary published on Legacy.com by Nazare Memorial Home, Inc. - Lyndhurst on Nov. 20, 2025.
Bernard P. Vigna, 96, died on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Mr. Vigna was born in Lyndhurst where he was a lifelong resident. Bernard served in the United States Army from 1951 - 1953. He enjoyed a long, illustrious career with Metropolitan Life Insurance, where he worked proudly as a salesman. Even after retiring from MetLife, Bernard's strong work ethic kept him active. He continued in insurance sales independently and also became a valued part of the team at Frank's Truck Center Inc. in Lyndhurst, where he formed lasting connections and friendships. In his final years, Bernard found great happiness in the simple but meaningful routines that shaped his days. His weekly lunch dates with close friends were the highlight of his week which created moments filled with laughter, companionship, and stories shared over good meals. He also cherished his daily walks and enjoyed shopping and fine dining.

Bernard was predeceased by his beloved wife of 65 years, Evelyn M. Vigna (nee Orlikowski) in 2021 and by his dear son, Dr. Bernard Vigna in 2015. He is survived by his loving daughter, Evelyn M. Vigna and her husband, Robert Agresti and by his cherished grandchildren, Michelle and Alex Agresti.
