Vincent John Cinquemani, 67, entered into eternal rest in El Cajon, CA on January 5, 2016. Vince was actually born September 2, 1948 to Giovanni Cinquemani and Ninfa Fricano, in Casteldaccia, Sicily, Italy. He completed grade school in Sicily and high school in Illinois. Enzo was an apprentice to a tailor at a very young age and then apprentice to chefs as a teenager before emigrating to the U.S. Vince served in the U.S. Army for 2 years. He worked for Delta Air Lines, Inc. for 14 years. Vince became a naturalized Citizen of the United States in 1985. After he worked for Southwest Airlines for 26 years, Vince retired to run Cinquemani Entertainment and Transportation, Inc. His duties included grandchildren, gardening, fishing and winemaking. Survived by Suzanne, wife of 38 years, daughter Monique; grandchildren Dustin J Cook, Skyler Cinquemani-Bone and Cameron Cinquemani-Whitcomb. Sisters Rosaria Episcopo (John), Giuseppina Sanfilippo (Leonardo), Piera Rosselli (Vincenzo). Preceded in death by his parents, Giovanni Cinquemani and Ninfa Fricano Cinquemani. FYI he was very close to many nieces, nephews and their children, who jokingly called him 'the big bad wolf'. Vince was known for his incredible sense of humor, his compassion for the ill (the only person I know who regularly visited the sick), sharing the fruits of his gardens and fishing trips. He could be counted on to give you the shirt off of his back or share his incredible knowledge of cooking, gardening, sausage making, vineyard tending and wine making.
