Pat was one of the best. A great athlete and a true gentleman.

God bless him and his family.

I just ran into Con at the gym and asked about Pat. So sorry for your lose. We had alot of good memories sitting by the garage at night in the summer and eating "tator tots" playing games. Those were the good old days. We will keep you in our prayers through this difficult time.

My Dear Puckly Family,
Living next-door to you all, on 13th and German, was a great experience. You all were such nice people. I actually remember going into 1st Grade, our first day of school, ever, (no kindergarten back then) at St. Stan's School, with Pat. We were so nervous that, to support one another, we walked into the classroom, holding hands!
Pat was a fine athlete. I also remember playing everything from baseball to basketball with him, as we grew up together.
I wish Pat's Obit would have been in the Erie Times early enough for me to attend his funeral. A few of us old St. Stan's guys would have driven-down together, to pay Pat our Respects.
God Bless Patrick,... I will now include him in my nightly prayers, and God Bless you all,
Dave Jurkiewicz

Becky, My deepest sympathy to you, Con, Jean Marie and your entire family. I remember Pat from 33rd St and then from Slippery Rock and the Dog and Suds from the time you had come down to visit back in college days. It is so difficult to lose a sibling. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

My deepest sympathies to the Puckly family. I went to St Stans and Prep with Pat.Growing up with Pat and playing ball with him whether at recess time or at the park or Boy's club, Pat was always the fastest. Boy could he run. I will always have great memories of Pat.It's really sad that he is no longer with us.....RIP
