He leaves his loving, caring, and devoted wife, the former Loretta Galip, whom he married on May 28, 1960 at St. Dominic Church. They were married by his cousin Father Camillo Tirabassi, who performed his first wedding Mass that day. Together they shared a beautiful marriage for over 62 years. He leaves to cherish his memories his daughter Vinetta (Thomas) Metzinger, his sons Attorney Vincent (Maria), Nicholas (Jessica), and Attorney Gregory (Kristin) Morgione. He leaves his beloved grandchildren Thomas (Cheri), Michael (Ashley), Dr. Matthew, and Christopher Metzinger; Vincent, Anthony, Marco and Nico Morgione; Nicholas and Adrianna Morgione; Gregory, Anna, and William Morgione and his precious great-grandsons, Aaron, Tommy, and Anthony Metzinger, who brought him great joy.

He was a wonderful Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather. His family meant everything to him. He always was supporting his children and grandchildren at their various academic, athletic, and performing arts events. He was so proud of each and every one of them.
