Vincent “Vinny” Paul Borrello, Sr. passed away on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at the age of 76. Vinny was born in New Orleans to the late Peter P. and Calogera “Lily” Borrello. He was the beloved husband for 57 years of Beverly Cucurullo Borrello; loving father of Gina Blanda (Leon), Donna Tucker (Frank), Vinny Borrello, Jr. (Breezy), and Joey Borrello (Stephanie); brother of A. Charles Borrello, Peter P. Borrello, Jr. (Sylvanie), and the late Joseph Borrello; loving grandfather to seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister-inlaw, Gail Ducote (Mickey). Vinny and his loving wife, Beverly, became childhood sweethearts in 1953. They married in 1960 and raised four children. The most important thing to Vinny was the love of his family. Vinny has been a court reporter since 1964 where he worked as an Official Court Reporter in Orleans Civil District Court, Orleans First City Court and 24th Judicial District Court. In 1969, Vinny established New Orleans School of Court Reporting, one of the first court reporting schools in Louisiana. In 1972, he was appointed by the governor to the Board of Charity Hospital. In 1978, along with his brother, Charles, founded Borrello Court Reporters. Vinny retired from 24th Judicial District Court in 2010 so he could enjoy spending all of his time with his loving wife and family. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. In New Orleans, on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 at noon. Interment will follow at All Saints Mausoleum. A visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 9:00 AM.

Dear Beverly,
Vinny and I were schoolmates at Ridgewood and though we have not seen each other in many years I remember him so fondly. I was saddened at the news of his death and want to convey to you and your family my heartfelt condolences. In my mind I can still hear Vinny and the Jewels sing the locomotive song and still know the words. They were all great guys and so much fun. I will always think of them, now especially Vinny, as they were in the 50's. May you and Vinny's entire family take comfort in the many wonderful years you were privileged to share.
Highest Regards,
Jeannine Matranga Ickes

The Jewels. How appropriate! Vinny the lead singer and composer was, himself, a jewel.

No one, anyone, could find a truer friend than Vinny. He enriched my life as he did with all those who knew him.
He was multi-talented, witty, and humorous. It was a joy and a wonderful experience to have known him. I shall miss him until I close my eyes for the last time.
Beverly, I know you are suffering now--how could you not? You are a stupendous human being, the only type that could complement my dearest friend, Vinny.
Vinny made me a better person, and I am sure that he did so for others with whom he was associated.
If there is a hereafter, Vinny shall be a resident in the Elysian Fields, awaiting his sainted bride Beverly.
I love and miss you, Vinny.

Vincent Borrello, Jr and family,
Through the years of working side by side with Vinny, Jr
( My Vin Vin) in Criminal District Court, Section "J" under The Honorable Judge Darryl Derbigny, I have come to love Vinny as a brother. We often say that we are a family and we mean it. When Vinny told me that he has lost his best friend, it broke my heart. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Vinny at the Christmas parties held at Vinny and Breezy 's home and he was a charming and lovely man. I send my love, condolences and sympathy to family and friends. God bless Mr Vincent Borrello, Sr he fought like a warrior and now it is time to rest.
