Pat was a big help to our daughter as she was working on buying her first home. We worked together over the past year and he was always gentle, patient and very understanding and kind. We lost a more than a mortgage consultant, we lost a friend. We will miss him!

Pat dear, you will be missed by all of us. But, you knew how to live life, and you did not miss the purpose of life--which is to give, love, and share with others. You were over the top, stellar at this. Thus The Legend you are, will live on and on. God Bless you!

Pat DiMeo, The Legend, A man of great character , complex, compassionate , a true friend for 42 years. A Rockin Roller, another James Dean! Living each day to it's fullest, refusing to grow old. One in a million, what a ride it has been! Like a brother from a different Mother we shared a friendship that stood the test of time, although we were separated by the 3000 miles our friendship remained strong. I never met anyone quite like him! My heart is heavy with sadness knowing that we won't be pushing chess pieces around late night, my confidant is gone, my friend of the ages is gone. I know that Pat is with the Good Lord, for I know that he found comfort attending Sunday church services , reading the bible and professing his faith in the Almighty! I shall miss him forever! Thank you for being my friend! I love you man! I'll see you on the other side.

My Friend Pat~
I always told Pat that I was "The King". He would laugh and say "Be The King...I am The Legend. Kings will come and go, but Legends will never die". I will truly miss you brother Pat.

Dearest Amy and family,

I just learned of the passing of your Dad. After reading the Obituary, I can imagine what a vibrant and dynamic father he must have been. Please know that you and your family are very much in my thoughts and I am deeply saddened to learn of this loss.

Sending you love and my condolences. I know how terribly difficult this time is as well as the days that will follow. I hold you close in my heart.

With much love,

Pasquale Caputo - that's what I used to call him! He was a clone of pat cooper the comedian - thru the years his infectious smile grew on everyone who met him. He always smiled & said " what's doing honey" he had a way about him that when he came into a room everyone looked at him & smiled back . RIP Pasquale Caputo
