Vincent J. Ragucci Jr., of Everett, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2025, at the age of 82 after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer.

Born on November 25, 1942, Vincent was the beloved son of the late Vincent J. Ragucci Sr. and the late Assunta Ragucci. He was the loving husband of Christine Josephine (McNamara) Ragucci, with whom he shared 62 years of marriage.

Vincent's greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind his son Vincent J. Ragucci III and his wife Stacy, and their son Vincent J. Ragucci IV and his wife Kathleen; his daughter Denise (Mayer) and her husband Dr. Pierre, and their children J.P. and Abriana; and his daughter Deborah (Tully) and her husband John, and their children Carson and fiancée Olivia, Preston, and Emerson.

He was also the devoted brother of the late Angela (Keane), brother-in-law to James Keane and Uncle to James Keane and Gina (Fiore), her husband Glenn and daughter Lauren; and Brother-in-Law to William "Bill" McNamara.

Vincent dedicated his professional life to serving his community. He began his career in banking, working over 30 years with Everett National Bank, County Bank, and Shawmut Corporation. He later served the City of Everett as Director of Municipal Asset Management. In more recent years, he was widely known as the original greeter at Encore Boston Harbor, where his warm smile welcomed countless guests and visitors. A strong supporter of Everett's growth, Vincent also served Everett United, the community committee that helped bring the casino to the city.

Beyond his professional work, Vincent was committed to volunteerism and education. For over 25 years, he served as Executive Director of the E Club of Everett's scholarship organization and remained a dedicated member of its board since its founding in 1972, also serving as past president. He was also a longtime board member and coach of the Everett Huskies Pop Warner Football League, where he helped mentor and inspire young athletes both on and off the field. His lifelong efforts provided opportunities, guidance, and support for generations of Everett's youth.

Above all, Vincent will be remembered for his deep love of family, his devotion to community, and the countless friendships he nurtured over his lifetime.
