[1][2] Vezzetti was born in 1928 in Bradley Beach, New Jersey along with his twin sister, Louise.
[3] The New York Daily News called Vezzetti "The Wackiest Mayor in America"[4] because of the odd things he did, like reporting a car stolen that ended up exactly where he had last parked it two months earlier.
Vezzetti was known for eccentric behavior such as wearing mismatched shoes, and carrying all his belongings in two paper bags.
[5] On March 2, 1988, Vezzetti had a heart attack and died at Hoboken's St. Mary Hospital.
Mayor Dawn Zimmer later eliminated Vezzetti Way and replaced it with a bicycle lane.
