Obituary: Vincent Scorese, 19; Hockey Goalie, College Student


Vincent Scorese, born and raised in Greenwich, died tragically in a car accident this past weekend. He was 19.

Vinny was a 2012 graduate of Greenwich High School and was currently enrolled in Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY.

In his short life, he touched many with his compassionate personality, his luminous smile, and his positive attitude toward life. He will be greatly missed.

Vinny was the son of Vincent and Kimberly Scorese. He was the loving brother of Joseph and Noelle and a loving cousin to Nick and Joey Marchesani. He leaves behind a grandmother, Barbara Marchesani, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends; many, many friends who meant everything to him.

Hockey was a huge passion in Vinny's life. He played goalie for many teams including the Mariners, the Greenwich Skating Club, Greenwich High School, Greenwich Blues, Stamford Sharks, West Hill High School, Darien, Outdoor Selects and Mid-Fairfield. 

The family expresses their grateful appreciation for the outpouring of love during this difficult time.
