Vincent F. "Vinnie" Murdocca
Vincent was born in East Boston on August 10, 1938, one of three children of the late Peter and Helen (Polignone) Murdocca. He was raised in East Boston, graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in the North End, and served his country honorably in US Coast Guard. After receiving an honorable discharge, he was married to Rosemarie R. Butare on June 5, 1960. Lovingly known as "Vinnie" he worked as a Printing Supervisor in Boston for many years.
An avid sports fan, Mr. Murdocca was a lifelong and very proud New York Yankees fan. He enjoyed getting together with his friends, watching baseball, and always supported the Yankees. He also enjoyed gardening, especially growing tomatoes and flowers in the yard. Blessed as an artist, Vinnie enjoyed drawing, painting, and calligraphy. In his free time, he enjoyed traveling with his family to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, or along the seacoast of Maine. True to his roots, he held his Italian heritage close to his heart, loved Italian food and music.
Above all else, family was most important. He was a loving husband, father, and cherished his time with his five grandchildren. He will be deeply missed, but always lovingly remembered.
