Vincenzo Gigliotti Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy on July 19, 1946. He spent his early years working abroad in Switzerland, France and Canada. He met the love of his life, Jo Ann (Giovanna), in November of 1968 and moved to the United States four years later. Known for his resourcefulness, he could "McGyver" just about anything. He loved nature, hunting, fishing, and gardening but always said the most important job he had was raising his family. A quiet man, a man of few words. Vincenzo valued time with his family above all else. His greatest happiness came from being with the people he loved. He was very dearly loved and will be deeply missed.
Special thanks and gratitude to the amazing doctors at U of M Hospital, Dr. Arathi Mohan MD, Dr. Ilka Decker MD, John Byrn MD, Neehar Parika MD and Tracy Lynn Licari-PA-C for their outstanding care and support.
Visitation Thursday 2 pm – 8 pm with an evening Scripture Service at the John N. Santeiu & Son Funeral Home. In state Friday 9:30 am until the 10 am Funeal Mass at Church of the Divine Child.
Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
