Dear Family: I was fortunate to know your Dad and Mom. We graduated together from New Dorp HS, He was always such a gentleman. (My maiden name is Corio.) May he rest in peace.

Andrea & Jean, Your Dad had a presence that made you feel safe, and the stories he would tell were fantastic! Pat had a smile that could make the clouds go away on a rainy day. Your Dad was one in a million and will surely be missed by many. I thank your dad for his kindness and caring for others, which I see in the both of you. I thank you both for bringing Pat into our lives and your unrelenting support in his care. My sincere condolences, Denise Pettit
