Patrick was a graduate of Stella Niagara Cadet School, Niagara Catholic High School and Niagara University. He retired from National Grid after a 30-year career.
Patrick was happiest when spending time with his family, especially his dearly beloved grandchildren. He was a true outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish and spend time in the field and woods at the family cabin. A collector at heart, he enjoyed searching for treasures at antique and vintage stores with Maria.
Patrick was the kind of person one would aspire to be. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. His generosity, love, kindness, courage and grace touched the lives of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.

I am left speechless with tears in my eyes 🥲 as I’m just ding out about my dear friend Pat❤️🙏 through this Facebook message. We instantly became friends in 1976, when we both worked at Tops Super Market on Military Rd. We’ve kept in touch and visited each other over the past 40 years, while I have lived in Florida. Never missing a beat in our friendship ❤️. God always has a plan🙏 I feel blessed that God allowed me one last visit with Pat and Maria in September 2022, at their home with my wife, as we spent the night with them, on our trip back home to visit family and friends in Niagara Falls 🙏🙏❤️

Pat was a man of steel and velvet He had both the toughness to do the improbable and the soft touch to connect and uplift. He is impossible to forget because of his impact on those of us who knew him. We are better off because of Pat. Looking around…he is one of those who did it right. Love to Maria, Pat, Joe and extended family.
