Joseph Louis Vigna

Joseph Louis Vigna died at home in the Town of Delafield, WI, among his family on the beautiful morning of April 24, 2021. He was born in Chicago, IL, on August 11, 1945, to John Vigna and Theresa Santucci Vigna, and he graduated from Fenwick High School in Oak Park, IL, then Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. A warm and immediately lovable man, Joe was cherished by many friends. Not least among these were the clients he served during a long career from which he never retired, and which ended with his vice presidency of construction bonding at Robertson Ryan Insurance. He leaves behind his adoring family—wife, Cheryl Running Vigna; children, Jason Vigna (Su-Yeon), Dana Vigna (Abra), and Zachary Vigna; granddaughter, Geneva Vigna; siblings, Catherine Fillichio (Anthony), Barbara Rocha (Michael), and John Vigna Jr. (Linda)—who will never stop celebrating his gentleness, generosity, and intellect. In memory of Joe, perhaps enjoy a meal, raise a toast, and hug your loved ones knowing that we won’t be together forever. Also consider donating to the Multiple System Atrophy Coalition and/or the American Civil Liberties Union links to which appear below Joe's photo. However you remember him, his family hopes doing so brings you a smile. An obituary will run in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Sunday, May 2, 2021, and a celebration of Joe’s life will take place when such a gathering is safer.
