VINCENT TERMINI SR

TERMINI VINCENT, SR. Vincent Termini, Sr. October 4, 2025 It is with gratitude for a life well lived, that we announce the passing of Vincent Termini Sr. on October 4, 2025, at the age of 86. Vincent was born on November 17, 1938 in South Philadelphia to Mariangela (nee Basso) and Giuseppe Termini. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Barbara (nee Mattucci), his children Mariangela (John, Jr.) Termini -Romano, Joseph P. (Lauren), and Vincent A., Jr., (Julie), his 6 grandchildren: John III, Sofia, Vincent, Louis, Joseph, and Santino. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sisters, Grace Strano and Adeline Travia. Vincent was the second-generation owner of Termini Brothers Bakery, a cherished institution that has served the Philadelphia area for over 100 years. He took tremendous pride in the reputation, success, and longevity of the business that carried his name. He, along with his father, created a legacy built on tradition, quality, and hard work. He cherished the loyalty of his customers, the dedication of his employees, and treated everyone like family. Known for greeting customers by name, slipping a cupcake or cream puff into a child's hand, and offering help to anyone in need, his kindness and generosity left a lasting impression on all who met him. His door-and his heart-were always open. Above all, Vincent was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He cherished his time with his family and spoke with pride about his children and grandchildren often. He loved spending time vacationing in Florida, was an expert cook, and had an appreciation for opera, travel, a well made Old Fashioned and a good cigar. His caring spirit extended to animals and plants, and he was known for feeding animals that took up residence in his yard and expertly tending to his plants and garden, all of which brought him joy. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and everyone who came to know him. Relatives and friends are invited to a Visitation on Saturday, October 11, 2025 from 9:00 A.M. to 10:45 A.M. at St. John Vianney Church, 350 Conshohocken State Rd., Gladwyne, PA 19035. A Mass of Christian Burial will immediately follow at 11:00 A.M. Interment will be private. Due to space considerations at the church, a separate Memorial has been established at Nonna and Pops at 1514 South 8th St., Philadelphia, PA 19147.
