Vin had a brilliant mind and extraordinary depth of compassion for all living things. Throughout his life, he was always writing poetry, stories, plays, and novels. He was an avid, rated Chess Player and rarely missed a session with his buddies at the Imperial Point Chess Club.
He was born and raised in New Jersey with his sister, Pat Sartor and brother Peter Romano, Jr. His parents were Loretta (née Youngclaus) and Peter Romano.
Vin moved to Florida in 1996 with his wife Jane (née Yanover) and beloved children, Christopher and Sarah.
Vin is also survived by his sister-in-law, Cathy Plowman, his brother-in-law, Frank Yanover and wife, Jana Yanover and his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Romano, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Vin’s remains have been donated to the United Tissue Network for medical science research and training.
Millennium Cremation Service in Vero Beach is handling the final details. In lieu of flowers, please donate to an animal rescue organization in his memory.
Our caring professionals are here to assist you and your family during this difficult time. We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week to assist in immediate arrangements or pre-arrangements.

Dear Jane: Vincent was an extraordinary human being, always caring about others. I remember the great times we had in Hempstead when he was our boss. May his soul rest in peace.
Should you need anything, please let us know.
With much love,

He was he4 closest friend I ever had in my life. We shared college and he was very influential in me choosing o be a psychotherapist (and getting stone3e the first time). We shared long philosophical discussions and laughed a lot (often with his mother, Loretta)). I will miss him a lot.

Vin was a true scholar and a gentleman. I worked with him at Johnson & Wales University and enjoyed his writing very much. He was beloved by his students and his peers. This is a great loss to us all.

Dear Jane,
What a wonderful, compassionate man Vin was, and I hope you can take comfort from the love you shared for so
many years. Although I only met him a few times, I had a strong sense of who he was from your stories and his powerful writing. I loved knowing he was somewhere at a protest with me too.
All my love,
Connie (and the Havis)

I am so sorry! I was chatting with him the other day, and he had given me permission to use his review for one of my novels, and I sent him the review banner and wondered why I didn’t hear back. I’ll miss him.
