Vincent M. Germani

Vincent Michael Germani, 95, died at home of natural causes on May 11, 2026. He was predeceased by his first wife, Virginia R. Germani (Merola), in 1986, and leaves his second wife of 37 years, Wanda Germani (formerly Wanda Cotter, née Romanowska). He is also survived by three children, Sal (Louise) of Plainville, Vincent Jr. of Attleboro, and Ralph (Tami) of North Providence; his grandchildren Joseph (Sarah Jane) of Bedford, New York, Mark of Boston, Anthony of North Providence and Brian (Danielle) of North Providence; two great-grandchildren, Elizabeth and Catherine Starcher Germani of Bedford, New York; his nephew Paul (Karlene) of Seekonk; and friend of the family Jermaine Patterson of Attleboro.

Mr. Germani was born in Attleboro, Massachusetts to the late Salvatore (“Sam”) and Josephine (Grimaldi) Germani on April 8, 1931. He graduated from LaSalle Academy, Providence, RI, and then received an undergraduate degree (1952) from Boston College and a law degree (1955) from Boston College Law School. Mr. Germani then served in the military for two years, assigned to the Adjutant General Corps as a Specialist Third Class, and received a Certificate of Achievement for outstanding duty in the Personnel Section, Headquarters Company Fort Dix, New Jersey.

Mr. Germani opened his law office in Attleboro in 1957, welcomed his son Sal to the firm in 1986, and continued to actively practice law until days before his death. His specialization in wills and estate planning afforded him the opportunity to help hundreds of clients and their descendants over the years at critical moments in their lifetimes.

He was active in professional organizations and civic roles throughout his career, serving as a member of the Attleboro Zoning Board of Appeals for 18 years, six of those as its Chairman. He was Chairman of the Bristol County March of Dimes for several years, served as Clerk of Court pro tempore for the local Court and as bail commissioner. He will be remembered for his fierce will to live, love of travel, quiet dedication to his Catholic faith, and generous support for his family.

Visitation has been respectfully omitted.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 18, 2026, at St. John the Evangelist Church, 133 North Main Street, Attleboro, MA. He will then be interred at the mausoleum crypt at St. Francis Cemetery in Pawtucket, RI.

Requiescat in pace.
