VINCENT GELEZINSKY

Vincent J. Gelezinsky, 71, died Wednesday, July 10, 2019, at home in Freeland, after a long struggle with early-onset Alzheimers.

He was born in Highland and was the son of the late Benjamin Gelezinsky Sr. and Catherine (Malletz) Gelezinsky. He was a member of St. Patrick’s Church, White Haven.
