---

Vincent Santonicola lived a life rooted in dedication, craftsmanship, and quiet generosity. An avid gardener and talented woodworker, he found joy in creating and nurturing, always taking pride in the beauty of his work.  He generously gave his time for many years as a volunteer at Bethpage Restoration during the Long Island Fair, where his contributions were appreciated by all who knew him.  He was also a graduate of Mepham High School. Vincent was predeceased by his beloved parents, Catherine and Thomas Santonicola; his devoted wife, Dawn Santonicola; his brother, Frank Santonicola; and his sister, Rosemary Santonicola Henry. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Christine St. John; his son-in-law, Thomas; and his cherished granddaughter, Sarah St. John, along with all who were fortunate enough to know him. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly invites you to honor Vincent’s memory by planting something in his name—preferably a tomato plant.
