Patrick A. Tartaglia

West Harrison - Patrick Anthony Tartaglia, died on August 7, 2018, in his home in West Harrison, NY at the age of 85. Pat was born May 17, 1933 in White Plains to Nunzio and Laura (Mascia) Tartaglia. He graduated from Archbishop Stepinac H.S. and received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Iona College. He served in the Korean Conflict and frequently shared stories of his training in Georgia. Earlier this month, Pat celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary with the love of his life, Carmella "Connie" (Audia). His professional career began on Madison Avenue as an account manager for a variety of advertising agencies including McCann Erickson and J.M. Mathes, Inc. He then moved into printing sales as a "production consigliere" for a wide range of tri-state agencies and businesses. Pat's unique mix of creative and production expertise was only surpassed by his genuineness and sense of humor. "Pasquale's" true legacy will forever lie in the smiles of his family - and finding them the best deals in town on full course Italian dinner specials, Chinese (or any other) buffets and triple-marked down, snazzy sweaters. His passions included golf, cruises, decoy ducks, his Senior Citizen discount privileges - and, especially, enjoying extra-long weekends with his family "at the cottage" in Copake Lake, NY. Pat will be dearly missed by his wife and soul mate of six decades and his devoted children: Michael and his wife Cathy; Glenn and his wife Laura; his cherished grandchildren, Dana, Brandon, Joseph and Steven. He is also survived by his loving sister Rosita Briante (Rocco, deceased); his brother-in-law John Audia (Patricia) and "a buffet" of nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends. Our family is eternally grateful to Senny Josephs and her compassionate team of caregivers. Thank you for all you provided for your "Maestro." Reposing Thursday, August 9th from 4-8 pm at the Ballard-Durand Funeral Home, 2 Maple Avenue at South Broadway, White Plains. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday, August 10th at 9:45 am at St. Anthony of Padua Church, West Harrison, NY followed by burial in the Mt. Calvary Cemetery, White Plains, NY. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Hospice Care in Westchester/Putnam at http://www.vnahv.org.
