To my dear Aunt Gloria, Roseanne and Pat and families, To know Uncle Pat was to love Uncle Pat. He brought light into a room by his twinkling eyes and love for others. We have so many wonderful memories of all the times we shared together. Those memories will last more than a lifetime. We were honored to have witnessed his love which was expressed by all of you during his life, over the tough past year, and especially throughout the past few difficult days and weeks. We Love you all. You are our family! Aunt Lucy and Kathy

So sorry for your loss. I will always remember the rap rap rap story...and him visiting lunch time on 18th street in Paterson when I was 5. Uncle Pat was the only brave sole that would watch Jackie at the family reunions. He was an amazing man. We will miss your sweet smiling face. May you rest in peace.
