I first met Pat when he was running the computer center at St. Bonaventure University. We quickly developed a close friendship. Over the years, we enjoyed playing basketball and "paper" ball, but my fondest memories are of our visits to Watkins Glen Race Track for the Formula 1, Can-Am, Camel GTP and other categories of races. There was also a memorable road trip to the Pocono track to watch a NASCAR race. It was during that trip that Pasquale showed me that you could warm a piece of leftover pizza by putting it under your hat. I remember how much Pat enjoyed photographing the cars and studying the techniques the drivers used for passing or holding off the competition. I also remember how thrilled Pat was when he finally was able to buy his first Ferrari. I remember pizza parties at his home in Olean, how much he loved his dog, Avatar, and how faithful he was to his friends. We lost contact over the years, but I was still saddened to hear of his passing. He was a very special gentleman and he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, my friend.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Pat over 50 years. From our days at St. Bonaventure Grad School, through several reunions with remarkable friends, and my most recent visits with Pat. It is noteworthy to share, that I have only fond memories of my times with Pat and later with Carolyn. He was an exceptional friend. He took on the responsibility of keeping our little Bonaventure group together and for that I am truly grateful. It is impossible for me to single out any one our times together. Each one brought great many laughs and sharing of our multiple paths in our lives. I also had the pleasure to meet his folks. I remember that family Italian dinner when I thought I was full after the first pasta dish. I will miss Pat, and I will always remember him in my thoughts and when I see a racing car, a Physics formula, a model train or a beef on wick sandwich, he will know it is me thinking of him.

40+ years of friendship with a man who is an exceptional human being, who is fun, honest, great sense of humor, integrity, a loyal friend, and the most intelligent, kind, compassionate person there is. Lover of NASCAR at Watkins Glen International, Ferrari, Formula 1 races at Montreal, meeting Mario Andretti in Nazareth, Pa. and he loved model trains. I could write a book on working together at Corning Inc.'s VAX Support Group, fun lunches at Aneillos for pizza or hot dogs & ice cream at Jim's. He did the pictures for my July 1988 wedding. I attended his and C arolyn's beautiful wedding. Many fun lunches at their house or Tag's. Lots of Golden Retrievers! "ALLIE"!! KODA! They would've all greated him by now. So many memories, and I am grateful for each one. GOD BLESS YOU & RIP Pat, sending you my love and prayers, Carolyn !
