BENJAMIN C. PATT, JR. Benjamin C. Patt, Jr., born October 4, 1932, lost his battle with cancer on August 3, 2014 at Hospice House in Vero Beach, FL. He is survived by his beloved wife Judith S. Patt, whom he married in 1959. He is also survived by four daughters; Martha Manion (Peter), Sarah Patt-Pronek (Neal), Susannah Barratt (Jack), Jennifer King (Tom), and eight grandchildren, as well as a sister Mariana Corrado (Tony). His many accomplishments included 35 years as a Rotarian, as well as many years volunteering for the Red Cross and The Salvation Army. Additionally, he authored five children books. He spent many years travelling and writing articles about his adventures. Ben will be greatly missed for his great sense of humor - as well as his practical jokes - we are sure that he is entertaining the angels in Heaven. He was a graduate of The Lawrenceville School, and a 1956 graduate of Colgate University. A memorial mass will be held on Monday, August 11th at Holy Cross Catholic Church at 10:00am. In lieu of flowers please send any donations in Ben's name to Hospice House in Vero Beach, Florida.

I realize that i am a year late but I just came across an old business card of Benjamin's and sought him out on line only to discover he had passed on.
My condolences to his entire family from an old acquaintance in Barbados who enjoyed his wit and sense of humour.
Sincerely
Theo Williams
