Vincent James Pizzurro 3/20/1933 - 7/2/2022
At age 89, Vince passed away on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax, VA. Vincent was born at home on March 20, 1933 in Fayette County, PA, the son of Vincenzo Pizzurro and Mary (Foti) Pizzurro. After serving in the Army during the Korean War, he attended Wayne State University in Detroit, MI where he met Phyllis L. Fry and they married on June 24, 1961.
Soon after receiving an MBA from American University in Washington, DC, Vince began a successful career at IBM, and later at the Northern Virginia Community College, eventually retiring in 2001. From the 1980s forward, Vince was involved in residential and commercial real estate buying, renting, remodeling and selling.
Vince was most interested in taking care of his family, and thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time with his children and grandchildren. He took great pride in his home and worked tirelessly maintaining the beautiful landscape he designed. Throughout his life, he was involved in the Catholic church and served as a Money Counter for over 40 years.
He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers, Carl, Matt and Frankie. Vince is survived by his wife Phyllis (Fry) Pizzurro, three children, Thomas, Victor and Susan and two grandsons, Alexander and Conor.
