words fail me when i think of Mr. P - i have lots of images instead. mainly in lora's laundramat on saturdays when i'd visit. he was an entertainer - he did this soft shoe/tap dance thing that is making me laugh even as i type this and he'd spontaneously burst into song and accompany himself on harmonica. he was an entrepreneur - i remember the lamps he made out of coke and beer cans that he was selling from the shelf behind the cash register and all the pictures he reclaimed from the trash and hung on the wall of fame there. he had his finger on the pulse of pop culture - he introduced us to green tea before it became trendy and he was in the paper as a "face of watertown". he was a man of his generation - i remember laughing with lora when she mentioned how he saved everything including string (because my mother who was around the same age did too!) but admitting that whenever she needed something, he had it.
and always i think of him eating fruit! i had my first kiwi and pomegranate with him at the laundramat.
i can't believe that he was 87 because he never seemed "old" to me. he had more energy and life in him than people a quarter of his age. heaven must be hoppin' these days with Mr. P in the house!
my deepest sympathies to his family. he was a great man and much loved.

Mr. Patriarca,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
