Vitagliano and adored “Pa” to 10 grandchildren. 

 

Vitagliano was a graduate of St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute and the University of Buffalo. 

For many years he was a dynamic presence in Buffalo’s hotel and restaurant scene, most remembered as Geno of the Executive 747 Club and later as the facilities manager for a large chain of restaurants in New York and Florida. Vitagliano’s gregarious personality, quick wit, and unending hospitality will be missed by all who knew him.
