Vincent J. "Vince" D'Appollonio, 68, of Glassport passed away peacefully on January 10, 2026 surrounded by his family. He was born in Lenola, Italy to the late Biagio and Rosa (Colontone) D'Appollonio. Vince carried his Italian heritage with pride throughout his life. As a devoted partner, father, and grandfather - his strength, resilience, and quiet humor defined him. He faced a long and courageous battle with illness, yet his dignity, grace, and unwavering love for his family remained true. He was a beloved fiancee to Diane Menzies of Glassport; a proud and loving father to Gina (Robert Kramer) D'Appollonio of Pittsburgh, and Vinny D'Appollonio of Glassport; as well as a wonderful grandfather to Demia, who brought him immense joy from the moment he found out about her. He is also survived by his step-children, and extended family. Family meant everything to him, and his love is a legacy that will continue to live on through them. He will be remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and steady presence, as well as the deep care he showed for those closest to him. He valued the time spent with his family, the meaningful conversations, and the simple comforts of home - especially his dog, Louie. There is no visitation at this time. Arrangements are with the Gilbert Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 1638 Lincoln Way, White Oak, PA 15131. (412) 672-6322 Troy J. Gilbert, director. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, January 18, 2026 from 2-6pm at the Sons of Italy, Glassport - 101 6th Street, Glassport, PA 15045. In lieu of flowers, the family would rather have your presence on Sunday and hear all of the wonderful memories and stories you have to share about Vince.
