Pat was my mentor and a dear friend. He will be missed by many friends and family.
May his memory be a blessing to family and friends.
Thank you for your comments, Phil!
Pat was a great friend and supplier for my old company KeepRite Products Ltd. In Canada.
He had a great entrepreneurial spirit and taught me many life lessons along the way during my career.
Although we have not been in contact for years he will always be in my thoughts through our mutual friend Phil Weintraub.
Rest In Peace.
Thank you for the kind words, Steve! I remember Dad talking about you a lot back in the day. I hope all is well with you and your family!
What I rememberabout Pat: never play golf with money on the line ‘cause he’l bust you. Never try to out-business him ‘cause he’ll out-bisiness you. Never talk family ‘cause family was his life. . Never talk personal accomplishment ‘cause his was far and beyond’.
Haha, loved your comment about Dad on the golf course. He used to take my money all the time 🙂 and I always told him he would probably not live long enough for me to get it all back! He even took me in a putting contest last year at our club at 88 years young! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Pat will be missed. I always thought of him as one of the good people I missed from Rochester after my transfer with Fasco to Missouri.
Thank you, Morry! I haven’t heard your name in quite awhile but remember my Dad talking about you a lot when I was younger. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Holding you all close to my heart. I see his smile and hear his laugh every time I think of him. Wonderful memories of time spent in your home.
Thank you for your kind comments, Linda! I hope you and your family are doing well and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
First, my condolences to the family. Now, this may be a long shot, but I think there may be a connection here somewhere. My father – Anthony J. (Jack) Talty was born in Buffalo, NY in 1901 (passed in `1960). His parents were John and Anna (they are buried in St. Michael’s Cemetery in Warsaw, NY). John passed in 1935 and Anna in 1933. My dad had 1 brother (Carl) who lived in Rochester, NY (wife was Rose). Any possibility? Again, my condolences to the family.
Hi Jerry. There are a number of Talty’s in Buffalo we are not closely related to and I believe the names below fall into that category. Thank you for your condolences
.
Pat, 3 things I’ll
remember most about you .
First, how are you Loved a joke, both telling them and hearing them., and you always had one at the ready.
Second, how are you loved to compete on the golf course. Sure, you loved to win, but you loved to compete even more!
third, how important your faith was to you. it was always great seeing you and Marthy at church.
it was a big part of your lives together.
you will be missed, my friend.
Thank you for your comments, Mark! You nailed Dad to a “T”.
So sorry for your loss. Pat was a great friend and a perfect gentleman. He called on me for years at Singer/ McQuay. I remember trips with him to visit suppliers. One special memory was when he invited me and my wife to dinner at Oak Hill. When we arrived he met us before we got out of the car and apologized because he found out the Governor had acbanquet scheduled there and we had to go elsewhere. We always had a good time with Pat. Glad to see his business was continued by his family members. Always looked forward to the day he scheduled a visit to Auburn.
Thank you, Leon for your comments and sharing your memories! I remember meeting with you early in my career with my Dad. I hope you and your family are all doing great!
Pat and Don were regulars at 6:45 am Mass at Assumption. We met there daily worshiping in the Chapel. We connected due to my South Buffalo roots. Large South Buffalo family steeped in Mt Mercy Academy and Bishop Timon. Along with our Irish Heritage, golf was also a talk of our after mass chats along with one of his JOKES! My hubby was as witty as Pat! He talked so genuinely about his beautiful family. I feel privileged to know him even in his later years. Certainly a man of faith. We will miss him. Give our sincere condolences to Marthy and the rest of the Talty Clan. Debbie and Phil Williamson
Thank you for sharing your memories, Debbie and Phil!
It has been many years since I had any involvement with Pat, but, I always remember our dealings while I was with Xerox Corporate Procurement in Webster. He was always honest and straight forward. It was a pleasure dealing with him. Best said, “ Pat was a good man”
John, thank you for sharing your memories!
My sympathies to the entire Talty family on the passing of Pat Sr. He was a great salesman and taught me a lot when I was just starting out in the motor business. One of the best I ever worked with!
My sincere condolences to the entire Talty Family. Pat was a good personal and business friend. I will always be grateful for the help and guidance Pat gave me in the early years of our business relationship. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
My condolences to the entire Talty family. I am very sorry I couldn’t be there for you in person. May Pat’s memory be for a blessing.
