Vincent Iannone

August 31, 1944 - April 27, 2020

On Monday, April 27, 2020, Vincent Iannone, of Chesterfield, MO passed away at the age of 75. He was born on Aug. 31, 1944 in Montagano, Italy, to the late Giuseppe and Giuseppina Iannone. He immigrated to the United States when he was 9 years old, and his family made Queens, N.Y. their home. Vincent served three years in the United States Army as an infantry soldier at Fort Kobbe, Panama, where he was a parachutist and marksmen. He retired as a senior vice president of mortgage operations after more than 30 years at Citibank. On June 21, 1975, he married the love of his life, Patricia Walzer Iannone, and had three children, Christine Iannone, Jennifer (Adam) Intravia and Joseph Iannone. His successful career took he and his family from New Jersey to Florida, then New York and to their final relocation in Missouri. Vincent had many titles throughout his life – son, grandson, brother, cousin, nephew, uncle, husband, brother-in-law, father, father-in-law and friend – but the title he cherished most was Papa. He adored his two beautiful granddaughters, Grace and Scarlett Intravia. He enjoyed holding them, singing to them, playing hide-and-seek with them and watching them learn and grow. He will forever be remembered as a loving husband of 44 years, father and grandfather, the little general, master delegator, keeper of time, kind soul and the epitome of a family man. Our lives are forever changed by him and he will never be forgotten. Vincent was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters Ida (Antonio) Iannaccio and Angelina (Joseph) Tomasso; his brother, John Iannone; and his father- and mother-in-law, Edwin and Patricia Walzer. In addition to his wife, children and grandchildren, he is survived by his brothers, Anthony (Barbara) Iannone and Rocco (Rachel) Iannone; sister, Sandy (Carlo) Bedoni; sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws, Anne Walzer, Denise (William) Donlon and Edwin Walzer; and many other extended family members and friends.
