MECHANICVILLE - Vincent “Clinch” Luciano, 90, died Monday, Nov 20th at St. Peter’s Hospital, after an extended illness.
A native and lifelong resident of Mechanicville, born May 18, 1927, son of the late Dominick and Mary LaVigna Luciano, soon after High School, Vince enlisted in the US Navy. After his military discharge, Vince worked at the former National Cash Register in his hometown. He later worked in the maintenance dept. for many years at G.E.’s Kesselring site in West Milton.
Vince was very proud of his Italian-American roots, always showing his colors and explaining why being of Italian heritage was the “best”.
A member of many local clubs, the Italian Fraternal Society, Peters-Purcell ITAM Post, Mechanicville Athletic Club, he enjoyed playing bocce ball.
A communicant and former usher of Assumption-St. Paul Church, and the Church’s Holy Name Society, Vince enjoyed all sports, and always would root against the team that his family and friends wanted to win. He loved to disagree with all, about anything.
All who knew Vince knew of the deep love and affection he had for his family. Proud of family accomplishments in life, love and well being, Vince was a satisfied man.
Survivors include his wife of 69 years, Josephine Malone Luciano, who took great care of her husband over all those years, his adored children: Marciana (Ron) Roman of Northboro, Ma, Vincent (Debbie) Luciano of Round Lake, Annette (Mike) Camarota of Latham, John Luciano of Hyde Park and Anthony Luciano of New York City, along with 9 grand and 12 great grandchildren.
