Waltham – Mr. Vincent M. DiGregorio, of Waltham, died on Sunday, December 14, 2014 in Newton Wellesley Hospital. He was 91.
Vinny was born in Boston on July 12, 1923, the son of the late Michael and Phyllis (Barberi) DiGregorio. He was raised and educated in East Boston and served in the Army during World War II. On May 4, 1947 he married Anna Gallo and the pair moved to Waltham in the mid 1950's where they would raise their family and have lived ever since. For over 30 years he worked as a forklift operator at H.A. Johnson in Brighton.
