Vincent Charles Maltese of Bayside, the loving husband of the late Jean Maltese and devoted father of the lamented Dennis, has passed at 86. He is survived by his children Allen, Patricia, Paula Anne, Vincent and Guy, and he was the adoring grandfather of 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

Under what may seem as non-conformity on the surface was a brisk, spirited nature. He gained admission to Stuyvesant High School, but shortly after transferred to Straubenmuller High School. Unsatisfied with both of his previous schools, he finished his high school years at Seward Park High School.
