Patrick and family Sending my deepest condolences. I knew your father from Dunkin Donuts, my favorite memories of him will always be selling cars, and dunking his bagel in the coffee every morning.

Pat was the most generous person I’ve ever met. “Your money is no good here“ I once made the mistake of trying to pitch in for dinner and he barked at me “don’t be like that” He loved his son. That’s all he ever talked about. He was warm and reliable. I can count on one hand the people I can count on, he was one. What a tremendous loss.

Had great memories with Pat at Dunkin Donuts on Grand. We shared stories and topics that we all had in common. Pat could definitely make you laugh with those one liners he had. Elmwood Park lost a loyal friend and we all lost his fellowship. My condolences to the family.

Well it is a sad day, Pat and I were married for 8 years and I will have to say he mad me laugh more than anyone. He was a kind gentle person with a loving heart. Don't let his size scare you, he was a teddy bear inside. He treated my kids like they were his own and when his son and my kids got together we always so much fun. I have many found memories and pictures of our kids growing up and will always be thankful for him in my life at that time. May his soul be forever young and laughing up in heaven. Prudy

I met Pat in 7th grade when all the 7th and 8th graders from Elmwood School came to Elm School to finish the last 2years, Pat was a "Don" the John Gotti of junior high and everyone was afraid of him, he even had a "Cappo" a bodyguard named Larry Strocchia who everyone hated, a "Real" tough guy ! Pat used to carry a cane because he hurt his foot or leg and all of us little kiddies in class with him used to get cracked on the head with it, he was also a comedian and all the teachers hated it but the antics he used to pull off were hilarious. I really don't remember to much of Pat in High School and many years after graduation, I think Pat became an Elmwood Park cop ( instead of running the Chicago Mob ) and then we all entered into our mid-40's, we all got Harley's and that became the most wonderful time in life, I finally hooked up with Pat and a bunch of other guys from Elmwood Park, and all we did was ride, a couple nights a week and always on Sunday. Pat's house was our meeting point before we took off and every time we met it seemed like Pat had a different car in is backyard, he bought and sold more cars than I can remember. Pat was a true friend of mine and a bunch of other guys even my wife who used to ride with us sometimes loved Pat, she first met Pat when she worked at Panera Bread ( not knowing he was a friend of mine ), I will always have treasured memories of Pat and what we used to do, you will be truly missed and may you Rest in Peace !
