Vito J. Disibio, 76, of Tolland, beloved husband of 49 years to Anna Maria (Giovannucci) Disibio, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 22, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was born on December 9, 1948, in Frigento, Italy, to the late Joseph and Carmela (Ieffa) Disibio, and was one of three children. At the age of six, Vito and his family immigrated to the United States, settling in Waterbury, Connecticut, where he attended local schools and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School, Class of 1967.
Vito was a longtime veteran of the shoe industry, opening his own store, Feet First, in 1994. He proudly owned and operated the business for over 20 years. A hardworking and dedicated family man, he built lasting relationships with many customers, always eager to lend a hand. He found great joy in spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren, often sharing stories about them with a smile on his face. Vito was passionate about his Italian heritage, a proud 30-year member of UNICO, an Italian-American service organization, in Bristol and Manchester. He was also a loyal parishioner of Blessed Sacrament Parish in Tolland and Rockville. An avid sports fan, he supported the Mets and Jets and had a special fondness for UConn basketball.
