I remember Mr. Savoca when he adopted two dogs from German Shepherd Rescue of Maryland. He impressed me as a kind and caring person. Later, when his son had to give up a dog, I found that dog a good new home. I hope that Mr. Savoca and his dogs are reunited at the Rainbow Bridge

I was very close to Pat when we both were teenagers in high school. I was happy to be reunited with him a couple of years ago. He was a great family man and someone I will never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To all of Bubby’s children and grandchildren,

He was all the wonderful things that friends and family have memorialized here. He was a strong stand up guy for all his family. He took special responsibilities for your Uncle (Sonny Boy) Vic and supported your cousins with love and care. I have nothing but fun memories of the good times the family shared with Nana and Joey on Hermitage Avenue. Bubby kept us laughing! I will always remember Bubby’s strength by forging ahead to constantly do the next right thing. My special prayers for Cindy, whose great devotion to her Daddy is forever memorable. May you all find comfort in the greatest strength that Bubby empowered you with...his love, loyalty, and devotion.

In sympathy and peace,
Leslie Wells
(Your once ago Auntie, when young Patrick looked like Paul Newman! His twinkling eyes and sprightly grin now beams even more sparkle in heaven!)
