Vincent Floriani: Massapequa lawyer and volunteer
He served on the Nassau County Youth Board, was a Republi- can Committeeman, was a charter member and former president of the Sons of Italy and a member of the Elks Club. Born in Reading, Pennsylvania he moved to Massapequa after serving in France during World War II and lived in a home he built on Parkside Boulevard for 51 years. A stonemason and construction worker, he built many homes in Massapequa, East Meadow, Farmingdale, Wantagh and Levittown during the 1950's. According to his family he also served as a member of the U.S. Selective Service during the Vietnam War. After opening his own law office on Broadway in Massapequa, his son and daughter came to work for him. He was recently recognized by the Nassau County Bar Association for his 50 year anniversary. He loved Long Island and spent much of his time swimming, boating, crabbing and clamming as well as walking in the Massapequa Preserve. He also played the accordion. He was part of a quartet of close friends that knew each other for about 50 years who met for breakfast or lunch. "He was a great thinker and very loyal. We'll really miss him," said Phil Alfino, one of his longtime neighbors and a member of the same clubs, who said he was wonderful. Retired Nassau County Supreme Court Judge Angelo Rancallo knew him both as a friend and a professional. "He was an outstanding attorney and an individual who the law profession could be most proud," he said. Mr. Floriani leaves behind his wife of 57 years, Rose; his children: Frank and his wife Carol of New Jersey, Jeanette Mark and her husband, Michael of Massapequa, Denise Mandato and her husband Philip of Massapequa and Vincent Jr. and his wife Kathleen of North Carolina; his grandchildren: Brian, Jennifer and Christina Mark, Christopher, Michele and Matthew Mandato and Gabriel and Marisa, Juliana Floriani. He reposed at the Massapequa Funeral Home on May 21, 2007. A Funeral Mass was held at St. William The Abbott on May 22, 2007 followed by interment in St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale.
