Vincent Bolognini

Vincent Louis Bolognini, age 65, of Flanders passed unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.

Vincent was born to Louis and Dolores Bolognini in Whitestone, Queens, NY in 1957. He attended Francis Lewis High School, followed by college at The Cooper Union, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering. He would go on to attain a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from NYU, and an M.B.A. in corporate finance from Adelphi University.

Vincent started his professional career as a mechanical engineer working for Lilco in power generation. Staying within that industry he moved on to work at Con Edison and then for 35 years at the Ogden Corporation now known as Covanta Energy. He rose through the ranks into the role of Executive Vice President of Business Development and was admired by his colleagues and family for all that he accomplished. His life saw him evolve from delivering newspapers on his bicycle in Queens to brokering business deals with foreign officials.

Vincent was also an intelligent and opinionated man. He enjoyed spirited debate on all manner of topics, and was also known to deliver the occasional joke with a wry smile. On top of the time he spent at work, he loved listening to music and would travel to attend concerts with his friends and family. He was an avid golfer, and lover of all New York sports, especially the Yankees. He spent as much time as possible outside, whether working on the yard, swimming in the pool, or just lounging in the sun. He also loved trips to the beach, making many dear memories with his family during annual trips to Longboat Key in Florida.

Vincent was a devoted father, husband, son, and brother. He was a deeply selfless and dependable man. He enjoyed 33 years of marriage with his beloved wife Marcia, and raised his two children Nicole and Daniel with love and care. He was overjoyed to attend the weddings for both of his children that took place in 2022. Vincent is survived by his two parents Louis and Dolores, who loved and cherished him deeply. He also relished the time when his whole family could be together during holidays and special occasions, including his siblings Cathy and Philip, and nieces and nephews Jack, Sophia, James, and Danielle.
