Vincent Peric

VINCENT PERIC age 84, beloved husband for 52 years of Raffaela (nee Severino); loving father of Franco (wife Anne) and Adrian; devoted grandfather of Kathryn “Wren” and William; cherished son of the late Rudolf and Stefanija (nee Svetlic); dearest brother of Anita Cencic (husband Louis deceased), Gertrude Osi (husband Danilo deceased) and the late Flora Jenko (husband Joseph deceased), Albina Fabris (husband Nino deceased) and Vida Ferjancic (husband Joe deceased); dear uncle and great-uncle of many. Survived by his canine companion, Rocky.

Born April 25, 1941 in Trieste, Italy, Vincent came to the United States at the age of 31 and met his wife, Raffaela, at Euclid High School. Over the years, he was employed by both Cleveland Twist Drill and CEI. Never forgetting his heritage and proud to be Italian, Vincent frequently traveled to Italy and Slovenia to visit. Additional travel around Europe was made easier by his command of five languages.

Vincent was a devoted husband to Raffaela and a wonderful provider. As their family expanded, he adored his children, grandchildren and family pets. When time allowed, he enjoyed many interests, including gardening, working at his tool bench trying to fix whatever was broken, dancing with his wife, cheering on whatever Cleveland sports team was in season or studying history.

Vincent passed away peacefully on May 5, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. His family and large circle of friends will lovingly remember his social ease and kindness. His family asks you to join them in honoring and celebrating his life.
