  1. Valerie Klein Relation to Deceased: Friend Although I did not know Patsy personally, I did meet him in AZ a few years back, when Zina, then living in CA-his only sister and I drove to AZ to meet the family: I just want to express my deepest sympathly and to extend my prayers to all the family members. Rest in Peace, Patsy! Love and rememberance, Valerie Klein The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody

  2. Timothy J Cox Relation to Deceased: Friend While I knew Patsy for just a short time, I learned quickly that the world was a much better place with him in it. He lit up the room with his smile, a joke or just being himself. I am truly lucky to have know him. Thank you Patsy for all your kind words and affirmations!!! The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips

  5. Robert C Sciortino Relation to Deceased: Cousin I will miss our monthly telephone conversations. Patsy always had such a wonderful happy tone in his voice and he always appreciated notes, letters and phone calls from family and friends. I will miss him very much. My prayers are with his Mother, Sister and brothers. God Bless us all in this most sensitive time in our lives. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.

  6. Robert & Rosetta Damico Relation to Deceased: Cousin Patsy, You always put smiles on faces, always spoke kind words and had true, love for your family. You never had a complaint. Always greeting us with a big hug and kiss. We already miss our “telephone” visits. You were more like a brother than a close cousin. Your humor and unique sense of humor will truly be missed by all. May you rest in peace dear Patsy. Our prayers are with your family. (Say hello to Dad & Uncle Al) The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

  7. Peggy J Hackshaw Relation to Deceased: Friend I worked in the car business across the street from where Patsy sold.He used to come over to visit us salespeople frequently and we became friends.I thought very highly of Patsy as he was ALWAYS a gentleman and fun to be around.I left the business and Patsy moved away to Arizona, I found out when I ran into him unexpectedly two separate times within a week this past Fall.He seemed so happy to see me and told me all about where his life had gone,including that he was waiting for another transplant after the one he had previously failed.He didn’t dwell on his unfortunate health situation with me and truly seemed as though he was happy with his life and just smiling in general.I introduced him to my family members that were with me and we all had a nice chat.They thought he was very personable (which he was).Needless to say I was absolutely shocked when I saw that Patsy had passed away,but very greatful that I had seen him and that we had such a nice time reminiscing together.After reading in these memorials that Patsy had reached out to other friends after extended times of not seeing them, in hindsight it leaves me to wonder if my meeting him or speaking to him by a phone call as the others did, was such a coincidence after all or if it was just supposed to be. The day after Christmas,my family and I went to the Mall to return something and anticipated perhaps seeing Patsy there again as I had before but it was not to be this time as I was very sorry to find out later.I hope there can be some comfort brought to family members by the fact that he was thought of as such an all around terrific person .

  12. Marlene Caroseeli Relation to Deceased: friend and former neighbor I look back on the Sciortino’s as an infinite source of warmth, and humor, and good cooking.

His captivating smile and outgoing personality were the sunshine in the sometimes gray days on Grecian Parkway. Our condolences to his dear mother and sister and other family members.
