Published by Legacy on Dec. 9, 2025.
Samuel J. Quinzi, 92, a beloved husband, father, brother, and uncle, and a lifelong resident of Chester, Pennsylvania, passed away on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Sam was born in Chester, PA, to the late Settimio and Maria Orsini Quinzi. He was a graduate of Chester High School.

Sam dedicated many years of his career to Westinghouse and the AJ Schmidt Company before his well-deserved retirement. He was a former member of St. Anthony's Parish.

Sam's greatest devotion was to his wife and son. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Dolores Catanese Quinzi, whom he doted on every day. He was a loving father to his son, Samuel S. Quinzi, and a cherished brother to his younger sister, Natalina Quinzi McLaughlin. He was also a treasured uncle to his many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his three brothers, Pasquale ("Pat"), Thomas, and Philip H. Quinzi.
