Joseph Patrick Arana

Remember the name, remember the phone voice-truly a great trombone student of the late Bernie Schneider. You will be missed.
Hugs! mrs. Bernard Schneider, Naples, fl.

Mr. Arana was my elementary school music teacher and he was the one to first teach me how to play the violin in the 3rd grade. I stuck with it all the way through until graduation from high school. Mr. Arana was a fantastic role model, a fantastic teacher, and I have fond memories of my elementary school days and my love of music that began with him. May he rest in paradise.

Dear Marilyn and Family. I was shocked and deeply saddened at the news of Pat's passing. He was a great friend and bandmate in The Kommotions. A first class musician, gentleman and a joy to be around. My heart goes out to all of you. I will long remember Pat and the good times we shared.

Mr. Arana was my elementary school music teacher and he is also one of the only handful of people as I was growing up to make my childhood fun and have higher expectations for me than I had for myself. He was good role model for me, I really liked his class and he will definitely be missed! Great teacher and person, I'm truly sorry for your/our loss. God bless.

Marilyn, you have my prayers and sympathy. So sorry for your family's loss.

To Marilyn and family, Rich and I are so sorry for your loss. I will always remember the late nights listening to Pat playing his trombone with the Astronotes. He will be surely missed!

So sorry to hear about the passing of Pat last week. He was a good friend. I so enjoyed the times we performed music jobs together. Pat was such a pleasant person to be with. I was very fortunate to have him as a musical associate and friend.

Dear Mrs. Arana, I am Sandy Ungar's daughter Lisa, and my dad told me of his passing. I wanted to extend my condolences to you and your entire family. I vividly remember Pat and seeing him play in the band with my dad. He was so kind, so loving to all, and I just loved seeing both of you together. Words can't express how much I know he will be missed. Much love. Lisa Ungar
