Harry was born on November 5, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York to his parents Elizabeth and Frank Villano, where he lived for most of his young adult life. He worked as a Longshoreman after leaving high school and enlisting in the Army with his best friends where he earned his GED and learned to cook and weld. Harry met the love of his life, Emily, and together they grew their family of four children while living near his many relatives in Brooklyn until moving to Long Island to raise them in their beautiful East Meadow home. Harry pursued his business interests in travel, partnering with his lifelong friend to own and operate Tulip Travel, Ltd., a successful travel agency to gambling destinations both foreign and domestic. He retired in style at the age of 50 and moved to Boca Raton, FL with his wife, followed by three of his children where they brought 6 of his 8 grandchildren into the world.

In retirement, Harry pursued his passion with golf and all things BBQ. He delighted in hosting many years of family feasts during Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays. He was heralded for his cooking skills and never ate a meal he couldn't replicate better than the restaurant chefs. Harry was a deeply loyal friend and family member as well as a devoted husband and father.  He relished in providing his wife with many lavish gifts and trips abroad and beamed with pride in the athletic, creative and musical talents, and business and academic achievements of his four children.

In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations be made to the American Diabetes Association. A Zoom link is available here Harry Villano chapel services if you cannot attend in person.
