Louis Vincelli

Louis Vincelli, 74, passed away on August 28, 2025, in Oceanport, New Jersey. Born in Long Branch, Louis was a lifelong resident of New Jersey.

Louis attended Holy Trinity Catholic School, Saint Jerome Catholic School and graduated from Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, NJ. He later earned a degree from Seton Hall University. His professional life was marked by a distinguished career as a Technical Writer, working with organizations such as the US Army at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, Booz Allen Hamilton at Fort Monmouth, NJ, and Perkin Elmer in Oceanport, NJ. Louis also shared his passion for video and football through his work as a Videographer at Shore Regional High School and Long Branch High School during the 70s, 80s and 90s, and imparted his black belt skills in martial arts as a Karate Instructor at BKG in Long Branch, NJ.

A devout Catholic, Louis was a regular parishioner and usher at Saint Michael's RC Church in Long Branch. His devotion towards Jesus and Mary was a guiding principal in his life. Louis is survived by his loving wife, Patricia Vincelli (Oxley); his children, Michael Vincelli, Peter Vincelli, and Deanna LiCalsi;  his grandchildren, Addison, Isabella, Tyler and Emerson Vincelli; and was preceded by his parents, Louis and Anna Vincelli, and his siblings, Marianne and Dominick Vincelli, and his beloved dog Mollie. 

Those who knew Louis will remember him as fun, lovable and gregarious with a constant sense of humor and boundless energy. He was interested in many trades and hobbies—from enjoying ravioli for breakfast to his expertise in DIY projects and his love for horse racing and photography. A dedicated father and the best friend one could have, he also cherished quiet moments by the fire while listening to music late into the night with a CC on the rocks.

Visitation will be held from 4-8 pm on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at Damiano Funeral Home, 191 Franklin Avenue, Long Branch, NJ. Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for Wednesday, 11:00 am on September 3, 2025, at St. Michael’s RC Church in Long Branch, NJ.
