Vincent Gagliardi was tragically killed in an automobile accident in Branchburg on October 8, 2021. Vincent's family established the Vincent R. Gagliardi Foundation in his memory to award an annual college scholarship to deserving SHS students. “We have a commitment to honor his memory and his legacy. We decided to start an annual scholarship memorial to celebrate a deserving Somerville High Schoo
l student and to keep Vincent’s memory alive.”
In addition, The Vincent R. Gagliardi Foundation is committed to bring awareness to driver safety throughout the community, with an emphasis on promoting driver safety at the high school level. Vincent’s smile was infectious. We truly miss his laugh, his hugs, his gorgeous blue eyes, and his funny, easy-going personality. But most of all, we miss Vincent’s special gift of making everyone feel important and loved. Today, Vincent lives on in the many people who loved him.
