VOCALE -- Emanuel Longtime Luna County resident Emanuel Vocale died Tuesday night at the home he built for his family west of Deming 70 years ago. He went peacefully and gently into that good night. He was 96. Vocale was born January 28, 1913 in San Nicandro Garganico in the province of Foggia, Italy, to Nuzio (Nick) Vocale and Carmela Sticozzi. He came to the United States with his mother in 1926 to join his father who had immigrated to the United States 13 years earlier. For two years, Vocale lived in West Virginia where his father had secured work in the coal mines of Williamsburg. In 1928, Vocale moved to Deming after his father responded to a sign he saw in the window of the mine company store encouraging immigrants to move to Deming to become farmers. The encouragement was offered by the Mimbres Valley Chamber of Commerce. The family traveled by train to Deming where they were greeted by Chamber members--and a raucous dust storm. To their dismay, they found more raw land covered in mesquite and sand than land ready to till and grow crops. Although Vocale's father seriously considered returning to West Virginia, he recognized that remaining in Deming offered the real opportunity of owning land-an opportunity unfathomable in his native Italy. So the little family, which now included an infant daughter, determined to turn the land into their livelihood. Working toward that goal, father and son worked together with horse-drawn farm implements to grow the major crop of the area, pinto beans. In 1936, Vocale returned to his birthplace to marry Grace Panzone, his loving wife of 72 years. The marriage proposal came after five long-distance years of courtship during which time neither saw the other. The last time they had seen each other was as children before Vocale sailed to America in 1926. Grace and Emanuel married in San Nicandro on 16 January 1937 with plans to return to Deming together in April. But remaining in Italy became unsafe for Vocale, now an American citizen, with World War II looming and with Benito Mussolini declaring all Italians the world over repatriated to serve in the Italian military. Vocale left Italy two days before Mussolini's men came calling. Grace sailed for America in April as planned. The newlyweds lived on Vocale's father's farm west of Deming for the first two years of their marriage while Vocale farmed with his father. In 1939, Vocale bought the first acreage of his current farm where he built a house for his growing family. Although farming in the Depression years was difficult, Vocale managed to become the first farmer in New Mexico to purchase a tractor. He clearly recognized the benefits of mechanized farming. During his lifetime, Vocale advocated soil and water conservation. He believed farm land should be preserved through crop rotation and water should be conserved through cement irrigation ditches. Although Vocale retired from farming in 1975, the farm is still operational today. Vocale was also very active in the Deming Rotary Club, serving as president and twice being named to the Paul Harris Award. He enjoyed deep sea fishing in Mexico and hunting wild game with close friends. Vocale is probably best known for the small vineyard on his farm and the homemade wine he generously offered to friends, visitors, and strangers. Vocale is survived by his wife Grace; children, Carmela Rabidoux (Ken), Gloria Moskowitz (Seymour) and Mary Lou Vocale; grandchildren, Julie and John E. Janecka, David and Richard Vocale and Sharon Freire (Patricio); great-grandchildren, Ryan, Courtney, Bailee, and Drake Janecka; Richelle, Jada, and Cara Vocale, Gabriel and Diego Freire and sisters, Rose Haferkamp (Hugh) and Anne Butterfield (Bernard). He was preceded in death by an infant son, Nuzio, and an adult son, Carl Emanuel. Friends are invited to greet the family Sunday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 at Baca's Chapel. Patty Salesses will lead the Rosary immediately thereafter. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Holy Family Catholic Church on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Fr. Enrique Lopez Escalera will officiate and the concluding services and interment will follow at Mountain View Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers are Don Hartman, Jerry Zacek, Tom Brdecko, Tom Lindsay, Paolo D'Andrea and Pete Sainz. Honorary pallbearers are all present and past members of Rotary and all member of the coffee club. The family requests that memorials be made to the Rotary Polio Plus fund in care of the Deming Rotary Club, PO Box 1883, Deming, NM 88031, or Holy Family Church or to Ambercare Hospice. Entrusted to the care of Baca's Funeral Chapels, 811. S. Gold, Deming, NM 88030. Phone 505-546-9671.
