Vincent Spinelli Obituary
Vincent "Vinny" Spinelli, August 21, 1956 - September 29, 2019, passed away unexpectedly and peacefully at his home.
Vinny was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He often said his fondest memories were of growing up in Brooklyn, surrounded by family members and close friends. He later resided in Long Beach, NY, and was a well-known, loved community member, and popular bartender at "Timothy Tubbs", a legendary LB bar/grill. He had many close friends in Long Beach that he considered his "brothers". Vinny later resided in Miami, and worked as a popular bartender for years in the Miami hot spot "The Mutiny" in Coconut Grove. In later years, he worked in sales, and the auto industry as an award-winning salesman and finance manager at The Collection and Braman Motors. Anyone who was privileged to know "Vin" was touched by his charisma, kindness, generosity, and fun-loving personality.
Vinny was an avid reader who enjoyed espionage and spy novels. He was a die hard "Dolphins" fan and sports enthusiast. He loved the beach, horseback riding, fishing in the Keys, bike riding, and enjoyed cooking for his family and friends. He loved music and attended some legendary concerts in his lifetime. He loved his family dearly and was greatly loved by all who knew him. He will be sorely missed.
Beloved son of Emilia Guadalupi and the late Francis "Frank" Spinelli. Beloved eldest brother of Phyllis (Rick), Rita, Vicky, Ted (Patty), Frank, Amy (Spencer). Beloved Uncle to Derek, Nicole, Samantha, Jarrod, Amelia, Teddy, Staci, Brian (Alanna), and Maggie. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local animal shelter as Vinny was a lover of dogs and animals, and enjoyed having them in his life. Vinny, the sun doesn't shine as bright without you here. Until we meet again, Vincent-"Te Amo". To express condolences, and sign the guestbook, please visit: www.northwoodfh.com

You'll never be forgotten
That simply cannot be
As long as I am living
I'll carry you with me
Safely tucked within my heart
Your light will always shine
A glowing ember never stilled
throughout the end of time.
"Keep on Truckin My Brother"
Love You and Miss You Every Day!
Love, Phyllis

Vin, I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and will tomorrow too. I think of you in silence and make no outward show for what it meant to lose you only those who love you know. Remembering you is easy. I do it everyday. It's the heartache of missing you that never goes away. Love, Phyllis

I was a childhood friend of Vinny. I often thought of him and what he was doing. I am saddened to hear of his passing. He moved from Brooklyn in his teens. We would spend many summers on our adventures fishing, going to concerts (first Elton John concert at Carnegie Hall) and especially our weekend trips to Downtown Brooklyn A&S shopping for clothes and especially records. He will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

Vinny was great guy who always had an infectious smile on his face. Always friendly and sincere, the most easy going guy I can remember. Although I haven't seen him in years I can still remember those fantastic traits about him. May he rest in peace, and may God Bless him.
My condolences to the entire Spinelli family, I am sorry for your loss.
